Lv 19:1-8

Various Rules of Conduct. 1The LORD said to Moses: 2Speak to the whole Israelite community and tell them: Be holy, for I, the LORD your God, am holy.^{* a} 3^* Each of you revere your mother and father,^b and keep my sabbaths.^c I, the LORD, am your God.

4Do not turn aside to idols, nor make molten gods for yourselves.^d I, the LORD, am your God.

5When you sacrifice your communion sacrifice to the LORD, you shall sacrifice it so that it is acceptable on your behalf. 6It must be eaten on the day of your sacrifice or on the following day. Whatever is left over until the third day shall be burned in fire. 7If any of it is eaten on the third day, it will be a desecrated offering and not be accepted;^e 8whoever eats of it then shall bear the penalty for having profaned what is sacred to the LORD. Such a one shall be cut off^f from the people.
