    The LORD said to Moses, "Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: 'Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy.

    " 'Each of you must respect your mother and father, and you must observe my Sabbaths. I am the LORD your God.

    " 'Do not turn to idols or make metal gods for yourselves. I am the LORD your God.' "

 

Leviticus 19:9-10  

    " 'When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the LORD your God.' "

 

Leviticus 19:12  

    " 'Do not swear falsely by my name and so profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.' "

    " 'When you enter the land and plant any kind of fruit tree, regard its fruit as forbidden. For three years you are to consider it forbidden; it must not be eaten. In the fourth year all its fruit will be holy, an offering of praise to the LORD. But in the fifth year you may eat its fruit. In this way your harvest will be increased. I am the LORD your God.' "

 

Leviticus 19:31-32
