‘And the Lᴏʀᴅ spake unto Moses, saying,

‘Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the Lᴏʀᴅ 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 Lᴏʀᴅ your God.’
—Leviticus 18:1-4
