但我對你們說過，你們要承受他們的地，就是我要賜給你們為業、流奶與蜜之地。我是耶和華－你們的上帝，使你們與萬民有分別的。 ……你們要歸我為聖，因為我－耶和華是聖的，並叫你們與萬民有分別，使你們作我的民。 利未記 20:24, 26
I, the Lord, will give their country to Israel’s people. I will give it to you and to your children to keep for all time. In that land, there is plenty of food and drink, enough for everyone. I am the Lord your God. I want you to be separate from other people. ……I am the Lord and I am holy. So my people must be holy for me. I have made them separate from other people. They belong to me. Leviticus 20:24, 26
