1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 'I am the Lord your God.

3 According to the doings of the land of Egypt, where you dwelt, you shall not do; and according to the doings of the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you, you shall not do; nor shall you walk in their ordinances.
