Leviticus 19:1-8

Holiness, Piety, Idolatry, Peace-offerings. Note the mention of the mother first. On the Sabbath, see pp. 101f., Exodus 20:8 *. Idols, lit. things of nought; only here and in Leviticus 26:1 in Pentateuch; common in 2 Isaiah (cf. 44:9ff.). Molten, specially prohibited also in Exodus 34:17; not in Exodus 20:4. On consumption of peace offerings, see Leviticus 7:15, which, however, only allows this latitude for a vow. Since peace offerings alone were consumed in part) by laymen, this restriction has its place in a manual of holiness for laymen.
