Contextual Overview

¹ The Lord told Moses ² to say to the community of Israel: I am the Lord your God. I am holy, and you must be holy too! ³Respect your father and your mother, honor the Sabbath, and don't make idols or images. I am the Lord your God. ⁵ When you offer a sacrifice to ask my blessing, be sure to follow my instructions. ⁶ You may eat the meat either on the day of the sacrifice or on the next day, but you must burn anything left until the third day. ⁷ If you eat any of it on the third day, the sacrifice will be disgusting to me, and I will reject it. ⁸ In fact, you will be punished for not respecting what I say is holy, and you will no longer belong to the community of Israel. ⁹ When you harvest your grain, always leave some of it standing along the edges of your fields and don't pick up what falls on the ground. ¹⁰ Don't strip your grapevines clean or gather the grapes that fall off the vines. Leave them for the poor and for those foreigners who live among you. I am the Lord your God.
