3 You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices.
4 You must obey my laws and be careful to follow my decrees. I am the Lord your God.
5 Keep my decrees and laws, for the person who obeys them will live by them. I am the Lord.
