Contextual Overview

¹ The Lord said to Moses, ² "Tell all the Israelites: I am the Lord your God. I am holy, so you must be holy. ³ "Each of you must honor your mother and father and keep my special days of rest. I am the Lord your God! ⁴ "Do not worship idols. Do not make statues of gods for yourselves. I am the Lord your God. ⁵ "When you offer a sacrifice of fellowship offerings to the Lord , you must offer it in the right way so that you will be accepted. ⁶ You may eat it the same day you offer it and on the next day. But if any of that sacrifice is left on the third day, you must burn it in the fire. ⁷ You must not eat any of that sacrifice on the third day. It will be unclean, and it will not be accepted. ⁸ You will be guilty of sin if you do that because you did not respect the holy things that belong to the Lord . If you do that, you will be separated from your people. ⁹ "When you cut your crops at harvest time, don't cut all the way to the corners of your fields. And if grain falls on the ground, you must not gather up that grain. ¹⁰ Don't pick all the grapes in your vineyards or pick up the grapes that fall to the ground. You must leave those things for your poor people and for people traveling through your country. I am the Lord your God.
