(LY: vii) Do not live by the regulations of the nation which I am expelling ahead of you; because they did all these things, which is why I detested them.

But to you I have said, "You will inherit their land; I will give it to you as a possession, a land flowing with milk and honey." I am Adonai your God, who has set you apart from other peoples.

Rather, you people are to be holy for me; because I, Adonai , am holy; and I have set you apart from the other peoples, so that you can belong to me.

Rather, you are to set him apart as holy, because he offers the bread of your God; he is to be holy for you, because I, Adonai , who makes you holy, am holy.

"Tell Aharon and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the people of Isra'el which they set apart as holy for me, so that they will not profane my holy name; I am Adonai .

Tell them, ‘Any descendant of yours through all your generations who approaches the holy things that the people of Isra'el consecrate to Adonai and is unclean will be cut off from before me; I am Adonai .

But he is not to eat anything that dies naturally or is torn to death by wild animals and thereby make himself unclean; I am Adonai .

The cohanim must observe this charge of mine; otherwise, if they profane it, they will bear the consequences of their sin for doing so and die in it; I am Adonai , who makes them holy.

and thus cause them to bear guilt requiring a guilt offering, by eating their holy things; because I am Adonai , who makes them holy.'"

"Tell the people of Isra'el, ‘After you enter the land I am giving you and harvest its ripe crops, you are to bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the cohen.

"‘When you harvest the ripe crops produced in your land, don't harvest all the way to the corners of your field, and don't gather the ears of grain left by the harvesters; leave them for the poor and the foreigner; I am Adonai your God.'"

so that generation after generation of you will know that I made the people of Isra'el live in sukkot when I brought them out of the land of Egypt; I am Adonai your God.'"

You are to apply the same standard of judgment to the foreigner as to the citizen, because I am Adonai your God."
