Leviticus 19 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Lev 19:1And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Lev 19:2'Speak unto all the company of the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Ye are holy, for holy am I, Jehovah, your God.
Lev 19:3'Each his mother and his father ye do fear, and My sabbaths ye do keep; I am Jehovah your God.
Lev 19:4'Ye do not turn unto the idols, and a molten god ye do not make to yourselves; I am Jehovah your God.
Lev 19:5'And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Jehovah, at your pleasure ye do sacrifice it;
Lev 19:6in the day of your sacrificing it is eaten, and on the morrow, and that which is left unto the third day with fire is burnt,
Lev 19:7and if it be really eaten on the third day, it is an abomination, it is not pleasing,
Lev 19:8and he who is eating it his iniquity doth bear, for the holy thing of Jehovah he hath polluted, and that person hath been cut off from his people.
