2 Say to the whole community of the Israelites: You must be holy, because I, the Lord your God, am holy.
3 Each of you must respect your mother and father, and you must keep my sabbaths; I am the Lord your God.
4 Do not turn to idols or make gods of cast metal for yourselves; I am the Lord your God.
5 When you sacrifice a communal sacrifice of well-being to the Lord, offer it so that it will be accepted on your account.
6 It must be eaten on the day of your sacrifice or the following day; whatever is left over on the third day must be burned with fire.
7 If any of it is eaten on the third day, it is foul; it will not be accepted.
8 Anyone who eats it will be liable to punishment, because they defiled what is holy to the Lord. That person will be cut off from their people.
