Contextual Overview

1And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,2"Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: You are holy, because I, your God YHWH, [am] holy. 3You each fear his mother and his father, and you keep My Sabbaths; I [am] your God YHWH. 4You do not turn to the idols, and you do not make a molten god for yourselves; I [am] your God YHWH. 5And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of peace-offerings to YHWH, you sacrifice it at your pleasure; 6it is eaten in the day of your sacrificing [it], and on the next day, and that which is left to the third day is burned with fire, 7and if it is really eaten on the third day, it [is] an abomination, it is not pleasing, 8and he who is eating it bears his iniquity, for he has defiled the holy thing of YHWH, and that person has been cut off from his people. 9And in your reaping the harvest of your land you do not completely reap the corner of your field, and you do not gather the gleaning of your harvest, 10and you do not glean your vineyard, even the omitted part of your vineyard you do not gather, you leave them for the poor and for the sojourner; I [am] your God YHWH.
