Laws of Holiness 1The Lord spoke to Moses: 2“Speak to the entire Israelite community and tell them: Be holy # because I, Yahweh your God, am holy. #3“Each of you is to respect his mother and father. # You are to keep My Sabbaths; I am Yahweh your God. 4Do not turn to idols # or make cast images # of gods for yourselves; # I am Yahweh your God.5“When you offer a fellowship sacrifice to the Lord, sacrifice it so that you may be accepted. 6It is to be eaten on the day you sacrifice it or on the next day, but what remains on the third day must be burned up. # 7If any is eaten on the third day, it is a repulsive thing; it will not be accepted. # 8Anyone who eats it will bear his punishment, for he has profaned what is holy to the Lord. That person must be cut off from his people. #9“When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap to the very edge of your field or gather the gleanings # of your harvest. 10You must not strip your vineyard bare or gather its fallen grapes. Leave them for the poor # and the foreign resident; # I am Yahweh your God.11“You must not steal. # You must not act deceptively # or lie # to one another. 12You must not swear falsely by My name, profaning the name of your God; # I am Yahweh.13“You must not oppress # your neighbor or rob # him. The wages due a hired hand # must not remain with you until morning. 14You must not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block in front of the blind, # but you are to fear your God; # I am Yahweh. #15“You must not act unjustly # when deciding a case. Do not be partial # to the poor or give preference to the rich; # judge your neighbor fairly. 16You must not go about spreading slander # among your people; you must not jeopardize # your neighbor’s life; I am Yahweh.17“You must not harbor hatred against your brother. # # Rebuke your neighbor directly, and you will not incur guilt because of him. # 18Do not take revenge # or bear a grudge against members of your community, but love your neighbor as yourself; # I am Yahweh
