Leviticus 19:1-11

Other Laws

1 The LORD spoke to Moses. He said,
2 "Speak to the whole community of Israel. Tell them, 'Be holy, because I am holy. I am the LORD your God.
3 " 'All of you must have respect for your mother and father. You must always keep my Sabbath days. I am the LORD your God.
4 " 'Do not turn away from me to worship statues of gods. Do not make gods out of metal for yourselves. I am the LORD your God.
5 " 'Suppose you sacrifice a friendship offering to me. Then do it in the right way. And I will accept it from you.
6 You must eat it on the same day you sacrifice it or on the next day. Anything that is left over until the third day must be burned up.
7 " 'If you eat any of it on the third day, it is not pure. I will not accept it.
8 If you eat it, you will be held accountable. You have misused what is holy to me. You will be cut off from your people.
9 " 'Suppose you are harvesting your crops. Then do not harvest all the way to the edges of your field. And do not pick up the grain you missed.
10 Do not go over your vineyard a second time. Do not pick up the grapes that have fallen to the ground. Leave them for poor people and outsiders. I am the LORD your God.
11 " 'Do not steal. " 'Do not tell lies. " 'Do not cheat one another.
