Words to Remember From Leviticus 19
GOD knew how easily the people of Israel world forget the words He had told Moses from Mt. Sinai, which we read in the Book of Exodus. And He told Moses again what was right for the people to do. Some things were only for the grown people, but some were for boys and girls also, so are good for us to notice.
All were told to treat their parents with respect (Verse 3).
They were again told to leave some grain and fruit in harvest time for the poor to gather, which meant they were to help those who had no food (Verses 9, 10).
They must not steal, or act in a false way, nor lie (Verse .11).
They should not use God’s name wrongly (Verse. 12).
They should pay what they owed (Verse 13).
They were to be kind to the deaf, and the blind (Verse 14).
They were not to go to ones called wizards, or fortune tellers, who were wrong (Verse 31).
They were to “rise up before the hoary head”, which means one who had white, or gray hair, so they were always to show respect to old people. (Verse 32).
Anyone who sold anything must measure correctly, and ate scales, or measures be right, for they must be honest in what was sold (Verse 36).
