1. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2. 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.
3. Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.
4. Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the Lord your God.
5. 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 ought 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.
