You must do what I do, because I am the Lord.

Monday, 2/19/18

In ancient times servants and serfs were required to wear garments similar to what their master wore. Wearing such look-alike garments was known as dressing in livery.

In our first reading today, God ordered Moses to remind the people;e of their obligation to do what he does.

God says we must be holy because he, the Lord, am holy.

You must not swear falsely because I would not. And, I am your Lord.
You should not defied your neighbor, or withheld wages, or curse the deaf, because I would not to much thing, and you must imitate me, because I am the Lord.
