Levítico 19:2-12

2 Habla á toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel, y diles: Santos seréis, porque santo soy yo Jehová vuestro Dios.

3 Cada uno temerá á su madre y á su padre, y mis sábados guardaréis: Yo Jehová vuestro Dios.

4 No os volveréis á los ídolos, ni haréis para vosotros dioses de fundición: Yo Jehová vuestro Dios.

5 Y cuando sacrificareis sacrificio de paces á Jehová, de vuestra voluntad lo sacrificaréis.

6 Será comido el día que lo sacrificareis, y el siguiente día: y lo que quedare para el tercer día, será quemado en el fuego.

7 Y si se comiere el día tercero, será abominación; no será acepto:

8 Y el que lo comiere, llevará su delito, por cuanto profanó lo santo de Jehová; y la tal persona será cortada de sus pueblos.

9 Cuando segareis la mies de vuestra tierra, no acabarás de segar el rincón de tu haza, ni espigarás tu tierra segada.

10 Y no rebuscarás tu viña, ni recogerás los granos caídos de tu viña; para el pobre y para el extranjero los dejarás: Yo Jehová vuestro Dios.

11 No hurtaréis, y no engañaréis, ni mentiréis ninguno á su prójimo.

12 Y no juraréis en mi nombre con mentira, ni profanarás el nombre de tu Dios: Yo Jehová.
