Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘aYou shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy. Every one of you ashall reverence his mother and his father, and you shall keep bMy sabbaths; cI am the LORD your God. Do not turn to aidols or make for yourselves molten bgods; I am the LORD your God.

‘Now when you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD, you shall offer it so that you may be accepted. It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and the next day; but what remains until the third day shall be burned with fire. So if it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an offense; it will not be accepted. Everyone who eats it will bear his iniquity, for he has profaned the holy thing of the LORD; and that person shall be cut off from his people.
