New Living Translation (NLT)
Leviticus 19
1 The LORD also said to Moses,
2 “Give the following instructions to the entire community of Israel. You must be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy.
3 “Each of you must show great respect for your mother and father, and you must always observe my Sabbath days of rest. I am the LORD your God.
4 “Do not put your trust in idols or make metal images of gods for yourselves. I am the LORD your God.
5 “When you sacrifice a peace offering to the LORD, offer it properly so you will be accepted by God.
6 The sacrifice must be eaten on the same day you offer it or on the next day. Whatever is left over until the third day must be completely burned up.
7 If any of the sacrifice is eaten on the third day, it will be contaminated, and I will not accept it.
8 Anyone who eats it on the third day will be punished for defiling what is holy to the LORD and will be cut off from the community.
9 “When you harvest the crops of your land, do not harvest the grain along the edges of your fields, and do not pick up what the harvesters drop.
10 It is the same with your grape crop—do not strip every last bunch of grapes from the vines, and do not pick up the grapes that fall to the ground. Leave them for the poor and the foreigners living among you. I am the LORD your God.
11 “Do not steal. “Do not deceive or cheat one another.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
