Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy. Lev. 11.44, 45 · 1 Pet. 1.16 |
3 |
Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, Ex. 20.12 · Deut. 5.16 and keep my sabbaths: Ex. 20.8 · Deut. 5.12 I am the LORD your God. |

¶ And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will. |
6 |
It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if aught remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire. |
7 |
And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted. |
8 |
Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. |
9 |
¶ And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. |

16 |
Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people; neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor: I am the LORD. |

24 |
But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD withal. |
25 |
And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am the LORD your God. |

37 |
Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD. |
