Exodus 19:3-6: And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him
out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob,
and tell the children of Israel; Ye have seen what I did unto the
Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto
myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my
covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people:
for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests,
and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the
children of Israel.
Leviticus 18:1-5: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God. After the
doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and
after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye
not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances. Ye shall do my
judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your
God. Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a
man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
Leviticus 20:22-26: Ye shall therefore keep all my
statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I
bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out. And ye shall not walk in
the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they
committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them. But I have
said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you
to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD
your God, which have separated you from other people. Ye shall therefore
put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean
fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast,
or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the
ground, which I have separated from you as unclean. And ye shall be holy
unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people,
that ye should be mine.
Deuteronomy 26:16-19: This day the LORD thy God hath
commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore
keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. Thou hast
avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and
to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to
hearken unto his voice: And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be
his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest
keep all his commandments; And to make thee high above all nations which
he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou
mayest be an holy people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.
