1 Además, el Señor le encargó a Moisés
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 que le dijera al pueblo de Israel: «Sean santos, porque yo, el Señor su Dios, soy santo. »Respeten a su padre y a su madre, y obedezcan mis leyes sobre el descanso, porque yo soy el Señor su Dios.
2 “Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘You shall be holy; for I, Yahweh your God, am holy.
3 »No hagan ídolos ni los adoren, porque yo soy el Señor su Dios.

7 If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination. It will not be accepted;
8 El que la coma al tercer día, será culpable, por cuanto ha profanado la santidad del Señor, y será expulsado de su pueblo.

9 »Cuando cosechen sus campos, no arranquen las espigas que están a la orilla del campo, ni recojan las espigas que hayan caído al suelo.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
"A new commandment," He says, "I give unto you, that ye love one another." But was not this already commanded in the ancient law of God, where it is written, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself"? Why, then, is it called a new one by the Lord, when it is proved to be so old?
