Leviticus 19:2
Verse 2 of 37. The 19th of 27 chapters in Leviticus, in The Law.
1And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy.
3Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.
4Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the Lord your God.
5And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the Lord, ye shall offer it at your own will.
6It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.

Matthew Henry on Leviticus 19:2
Moses is ordered to deliver the summary of the laws to all the congregation of the children of Israel (v. 2); not to Aaron and his sons only, but to all the people, for they were all concerned to know their duty. Even in the darker ages of the law, that religion could not be of God which boasted of ignorance as its mother.
