Exodus 22:28-31

“Don’t curse God; and don’t damn your leaders. “Don’t be stingy as your wine vats fill up. “Dedicate your firstborn sons to me. The same with your cattle and sheep—they are to stay for seven days with their mother, then give them to me. “Be holy for my sake. “Don’t eat mutilated flesh you find in the fields; throw it to the dogs.” * * *
