And the Lord said, See, this is what I will undertake: before the eyes of your people I will do wonders, such as have not been done in all the earth or in any nation: and all your people will see the work of the Lord, for what I am about to do for you is greatly to be feared.

It is to be for your food in a holy place, because it is your right and your sons' right, from the offerings of the Lord made by fire: for so am I ordered.

For I am the Lord your God: for this reason, make and keep yourselves holy, for I am holy; you are not to make yourselves unclean with any sort of thing which goes about flat on the earth.

For I am the Lord, who took you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; so be you holy, for I am holy.

Say to the children of Israel, I am the Lord your God.

You may not do those things which were done in the land of Egypt where you were living; and you may not do those things which are done in the land of Canaan where I am taking you, or be guided in your behaviour by their rules.

But you are to be guided by my decisions and keep my rules, and be guided by them: I am the Lord your God.

So keep my rules and my decisions, which, if a man does them, will be life to him: I am the Lord.

You may not have sex connection with anyone who is a near relation: I am the Lord.

And you may not make any of your children go through the fire as an offering to Molech, and you may not put shame on the name of your God: I am the Lord.

Do not make yourself unclean in any of these ways; for so have those nations whom I am driving out from before you made themselves unclean:

So then, keep my orders, so that you may not do any of these disgusting things which were done before you, or make yourselves unclean through them: I am the Lord your God.

Say to all the people of Israel, You are to be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy.

Let every man give honour to his mother and to his father and keep my Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.

Do not go after false gods, and do not make metal images of gods for yourselves: I am the Lord your God.

And do not take all the grapes from your vine-garden, or the fruit dropped on the earth; let the poor man, and the man from another country, have these: I am the Lord your God.

And do not take an oath in my name falsely, putting shame on the name of your God: I am the Lord.

Do not put a curse on those who have no hearing, or put a cause of falling in the way of the blind, but keep the fear of your God before you: I am the Lord.

Do not go about saying untrue things among your people, or take away the life of your neighbour by false witness: I am the Lord.

Do not make attempts to get equal with one who has done you wrong, or keep hard feelings against the children of your people, but have love for your neighbour as for yourself: I am the Lord.
