Lev19:7 If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination; it will not be acceptable.

Lev19:16 You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not profit by the blood of your neighbor: I am the LORD.
Lev19:17 You shall not hate in your heart anyone of your kin; you shall reprove your neighbor, or you will incur guilt yourself.
