New American Standard Bible (1995)
Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

Contextual Overview

¹ The Lord told Moses ² to say to the community of Israel, "Be holy, because I, the Lord your God, am holy. ³ Each of you must respect your mother and your father, and must keep the Sabbath, as I have commanded. I am the Lord your God. ⁴ "Do not abandon me and worship idols; do not make gods of metal and worship them. I am the Lord your God. ⁵ "When you kill an animal for a fellowship offering, keep the regulations that I have given you, and I will accept the offering. ⁶ The meat must be eaten on the day the animal is killed or on the next day. Any meat left on the third day must be burned, ⁷ because it is ritually unclean, and if anyone eats it, I will not accept the offering. ⁸ Any who eat it will be guilty of treating as ordinary what is dedicated to me, and they will no longer be considered my people. ⁹ "When you harvest your fields, do not cut the grain at the edges of the fields, and do not go back to cut the heads of grain that were left. ¹⁰ Do not go back through your vineyard to gather the grapes that were missed or to pick up the grapes that have fallen; leave them for poor people and foreigners. I am the Lord your God.
