1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them: a‘You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.  
3 a‘Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father, and bkeep My Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.  
4 a‘Do not turn to idols, bnor make for yourselves molded gods: I am the Lord your God.  
5 ‘And aif you offer a sacrifice of a peace offering to the Lord, you shall offer it of your own free will.  
6 It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next day. And if any remains until the third day, it shall be burned in the fire.

Leviticus 19:2

Ye shall be holy ... - These words express the keynote to the whole book of Leviticus, being addressed to the whole nation. There does not appear to be any systematic arrangement in the laws which follow. They were intended as guards to the sanctity of the elect people, enforcing common duties by immediate appeal to the highest authority. Compare Leviticus 18:24-30 note.
