Commandments for Holiness

Then the LORD said to Moses 2 “Speak to the whole congregation of Israel and tell them: Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy.[fn]

3 

Each of you must respect his mother and father, and you must keep My Sabbaths. I am the LORD your God.

4 

Do not turn to idols or make for yourselves molten gods. I am the LORD your God.

5 

When you sacrifice vvv a peace offering to the LORD, you shall offer it for your acceptance. 6 It shall be eaten on the day you sacrifice it, or on the next day; but what remains on the third day must be burned up 7 If any of it is eaten on the third day, it is tainted and will not be accepted. 8 Whoever eats it will bear his iniquity, for he has profaned what is holy to the LORD. That person must be cut off from his people.
