You shall eat nothing that dies of itself; it shall be given to the sojourner in your cities and he shall eat it, or you shall sell it to a stranger, because you are a holy people unto the Lord your God. You shall not boil a lamb in his mother's milk.

For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; and the Lord your God chose you to be to Him a peculiar people beyond all nations that [are] upon the face of the earth.

And the Lord has chosen you this day, that you should be to Him a peculiar people, as He said, to keep His commands;

and that you should be above all nations, as He has made you renowned, and a boast, and glorious, that you should be a holy people to the Lord your God, as He has spoken.
