Leviticus 19:1-10

Lexham English Bible

Yahweh Is Holy

19 Then^[a] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ² “Speak to all the community of the Israelites,^[b] and say to them, ‘You^[c] must be holy, because I, Yahweh your^[d] God, am holy. ³ Each of you must revere your mother^[e] and your father,^[f] and you^[g] must keep my Sabbaths; I am Yahweh your^[h] God. ⁴ You^[i] must not turn to idols, and you^[j] must not make for yourselves gods of cast metal; I am Yahweh your^[k] God.

⁵ “‘And when you^[l] sacrifice a sacrifice of fellowship offerings to Yahweh, you^[m] must sacrifice it for your^[n] acceptance. ⁶ It must be eaten on the day of your^[o] sacrifice and the next day; but^[p] the remainder must be burned up in the fire by the third day. ⁷ And if it is indeed eaten on the third day, it is unclean meat; it shall not be regarded as accepted. ⁸ And the one who eats it shall bear his guilt, because he has profaned Yahweh’s holiness, and that person shall be cut off from his people.

Love Your Neighbor as Yourself

⁹ “‘And at your^[q] reaping the harvest of your^[r] land you^[s] must not finish reaping the edge of your^[t] field, and you^[u] must not glean the remnants of your^[v] harvest. ¹⁰ And you^[w] must not glean your^[x] vineyard, and you^[y] must not gather your^[z] vineyard’s fallen grapes; you^[aa] must leave them behind for the needy and for the alien; I am Yahweh your^[ab] God.
