Mindful (Lev 19: 1-10)

YHVH spoke to Mashiakh, saying:  "Speak to the whole community of those that wrestle with me and say to them:
     "'You all must be mindful, for I, YHVH your One, am mindful.
     "'You shall each revere your mother and your father, and keep My sabbaths:  I YHVH am your One.
     "'Do not turn to superstition or materialism for yourselves:  I YHVH am your One.
     "'When you give an uplifting meal to YHVH, give it so that it may be accepted on your behalf.  It shall be eaten on the day you give it, or on the day following;  but what is left by the third day must be composted.  If it should be eaten on the third day, it is an offensive thing, it will not be acceptable.  And the one who eats of it shall bear guilt, for profaning what is sacred to YHVH;  that person shall be cut off from their family.
     "'When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap all the way to the edges of your field, or gather the gleanings of your harvest.  You shall not pick your vineyard bare, or gather the fallen fruit of your land;  you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger:  I YHVH am your One.'"
