4. Do not turn to idols, nor make molten gods for yourselves. I am Yahweh your God.
5. When you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh, offer it acceptably.
6. It shall be eaten on the day you offer your sacrifice and the next day, but whatever remains until the third day shall be burned in fire.
7. But if it is consumed at all on the third day, it is abominable; it will not be pleasing.
8. Whoever eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned what is holy to Yahweh, and that soul shall be cut off from his people.
9. When you reap the harvest of your land, do not finish reaping the corner of your field, nor glean the gleanings of your harvest.

20. If a man lies with a woman in copulation of seed, and she a bondwoman pledged to another man, and not redeemed at all, nor freedom given to her, she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not freed.
21. He shall bring his guilt offering to Yahweh, to the entrance of the tent of meeting, a ram for a guilt offering.

35. Do not commit injustice in judgment, in measures, in weights, or in quantities.
36. Honest balances, honest weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin shall be yours; I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt.
