Speak to the entire Israelite community and tell them, be holy because I the Lord your God,'em holy. Each of you is to respect his mother and father, you are to keep my Sabbath. I'm the Lord your God. Do not turn to worthless idols or make cast images of God for yourselves. I'm the Lord your God. when you offer a fellowship sacrifice to the Lord, sacrifices so that you may be accepted, it is to be eaten on the day you sacrifice it or on the next day, but what remains on the third day must be burned. If any is eaten on the third day, it is a repulsive thing. It will not be accepted. Anyone who eats it will bear his iniquity. For he is profane. What is holy to the Lord? That person is to be cut off from his people. When you reap the harvest of your land, You are not the reap to the very edge of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Do not strip your vineyard, bear or gather its fallen grapes. Leave them for the poor and the resident alien. I'm the Lord your God. Do not steal. Do not act deceptively or lie to one another. Do not swear falsely by my name, profaning the name of your God. I'm the Lord. Do not oppress your neighbor or rob him. The wages due. A hired worker must not remain with you until morning.

Do not harbor hatred against your brother. Rebuke your neighbor directly and you will not incur guilt because of him. Do not take revenge or bear a grudge against members of your community, but love your neighbor as yourself. I'm the Lord. You are to keep my statutes do not cross breed two different kinds of livestock. Sow your fields with two kinds of seed, or put on a garment made of two kinds of material. If a man has sexual intercourse with a woman who is a slave designated for another man, but she has not been redeemed or given her freedom, there must be punishment. They're not to be put to death because she has not been freed. However, he must bring a ram as is guilt offering to the Lord. At the interest of Li tenant meeting, The priest will make atonement on his behalf before the Lord with the ram of the guilt, offering for the sin he has committed and he will be forgiven for the sin he committed. When you come into the land and plant any kind of tree for food, you are to consider the fruit forbidden. It will be forbidden for you for three years. It is not to be eaten in the fourth year. All its fruit is to be consecrated as a praise offering to the Lord. But in the fifth year, you may eat its fruit in the same way its yield will increase for you. I'm the Lord your God. You are not to eat anything with blood in it. You are not. The practice Divination or witchcraft. You are not to cut off the hair at the sides of your head or mar the edge of your beard. You are not to make gashes on your body for the dead, or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I'm the Lord. Do not debase your daughter by making her a prostitute, or the land will be prostituted and filled with depravity. Keep my sabbaths and revere my sanctuary. I'm the Lord. Do not turn to mediums or consult spiritists, or you'll be defiled by them. I'm the Lord your God. You are to rise in the presence of the elderly and honor the old fear your God. I am the Lord. when an alien resides with you in your land, you must not oppress him. You'll regard the alien who resides with you as a native born among you. You are to love him as yourself. For you are aliens. In the land of Egypt, I'm the Lord your God. Do not be unfair in measurements of length, weight, or volume. You are to have honest balances, honest weights, and honest dry measure and an honest liquid measure. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt. Keep all my statutes and all my ordinances and do them. I'm the Lord. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, you've called us to be holy just as you are. Holy. Not just in worship and at church, but in how we live our day-to-day lives, when we go to work and how we treat others. I pray, Lord, that you will forgive us for showing favoritism, for neglecting the poor, for speaking lies, or holding grudges. Lord, would you cleanse our hearts from injustice, deception, and indifference. Teach us to love our neighbors as ourselves, to revere your name in our dealings, and to reflect your holiness in our choices. Help us to honor our parents, to guard our speech, to be generous with what we have and to walk in integrity. I pray that you will make us a distinct people, not strange, but set apart'cause of the love, the justice, and the mercy we reveal about you in all things. May we live like you are near to us. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
