Leviticus 19:20-37
If a man sleeps with a female slave who is promised to another man but who has not been ransomed or given her freedom, there must be due punishment.
For three years you are to consider it forbidden; it must not be eaten. In the fourth year all its fruit will be holy, an offering of praise to the Lord. But in the fifth year you may eat its fruit. In this way your harvest will be increased. I am the Lord your God.
Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard.
Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves.
‘Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them.
Stand up in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly and revere your God.
When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them.
Do not use dishonest standards when measuring length, weight or quantity.
God also concerned about the natural world, how we care for his creation. Patience while a tree is immature means better long-term yields.
Why?
Respect the law of this nature, honer the name of the Lord, first achievement from the land give it to the Lord. Then the land will be blessed.
Respect our body and hair, do not follow the foreign culture or fashion style, because I am a follower of the Lord.
Worship the Lord only for God is the Lord, no one can compare with the Lord.

19:2-13 十誡的條款，平安祭的肉要儘快吃完，5-8不要怕別人吃, 9-13 不可...
13 -18 聖潔公義的生活
19- 不可摻雜，我們的生活要與這個世界分別出來。
26-31 不可隨從異教的風俗。這裏不可吃血與異教有關，如在台灣拿香就與異教有關。聖潔可能與道德無關，但是因為世界這麼做。我們是屬於神的，與異教的教法分別出來，也不要讓人誤會。
我是耶和華出現15次，這是自有永有的意思。神是自有，不是受造的。強調神是聖潔的。

How?
Keep all God's decrees and words and follow them.
