Regulations Regarding Tribute and Holiness

²⁸ “‘You will not curse God,^[a] and you will not curse a leader among your people.

²⁹ “‘You will not delay the fullness of your harvest and the juice from your press; you will give me the firstborn of your sons. ³⁰ You will do likewise for your ox and for your sheep and goats; seven days it will be with its mother; on the eighth, you will give it to me. ³¹ And you will be men of holiness for me; and you will not eat meat from a carcass mangled in the field; you will throw it to the dog.
