Leviticus 19:5-8

Be Holy Because I Am Holy: Covenant Life Before God and Neighbor

The LORD commands the whole assembly of Israel to be holy because He is holy, then applies that holiness across reverence for parents, Sabbath keeping, rejection of idols, proper fellowship offerings, care for the poor and foreigner, honesty, justice, love of neighbor, sexual and agricultural boundaries, rejection of pagan practices, Sabbath and sanctuary reverence, honoring the elderly, love for the foreigner, and honest weights and measures.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

5When you sacrifice a peace offering to the LORD, you shall offer it for your acceptance.

6It shall 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 of it is eaten on the third day, it is tainted and will not be accepted.

8Whoever eats it will bear his iniquity, for he has profaned what is holy to the LORD. That person must be cut off from his people.
