SEEKING REFUGE, REMOVING SHOES AND WASHING BEFORE PRAYING 

Then God said; “Do not come near here; remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground. Exodus 3:5 

And the captain of the Lord's host said to Joshua; Remove your shoe from off your foot; for the place whereon you are standing is holy. And Joshua did so. Joshua 5:15

And he (Moses) set the laver between the tent of congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash withal. And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat; when they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the Lord commanded Moses.  
                        Exodus 40:30-32 

In Thee, O Lord, I have taken refuge... Psalms 31:1 



CIRCUMCISION 

This is My covenant, which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you; every male among you shall be circumcised. And you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be the sign of the covenant between Me and you. And every male among you who is eight days old shall be circumcised throughout your generations...   Genesis 17:10/12 

But an uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that person shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.  Genesis 17:14 



USURIOUS INTEREST PROHIBITED  

Do not take usurious interest from him, but revere your God, that your countryman may live with you.   Leviticus 25:36 



EATING SWINE'S FLESH PROHIBITED 

And the swine, because it divides the hoof but does not chew the cud, it is unclean for you. You shall not eat any of their flesh nor touch their carcasses.  
                        Deut. 14:8 and Levi. 11:7 

A people that provoketh Me to anger continually to My face; ...which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable thing is in their vessels.      Isaiah 65:3/4; see also Isaiah 66:17 



MURDERERS SHALL BE PUT TO DEATH, EYE FOR EYE, HAND FOR HAND....  

Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses; but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die. Moreover you shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death; but he shall be surely put to death.  
                                           Numbers 35:30-31 

...Thus you shall purge the evil from among you. And the rest will hear and be afraid, and will never again do such an evil thing among you. Thus you shall not show pity; life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.                    Deut. 19:19/21 

A single witness shall not rise up against a man on account of any iniquity or any sin which he has committed; on the evidence of two or three witnesses a matter shall be confirmed.          Deut. 19:15 

And if your right hand make you stumble, cut it of, and throw it from you; for it is better for you that one of the parts of your body perish, than for your whole body be cast into hell.                     Mt. 5:30 



FORNICATORS,  ADULTERERS, IDOLATERS, HOMOSEXUALS..... SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD  

Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, not adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corn. 6:9/10 



OBSERVING HOLY COMMANDMENTS IS THE WAY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS  

For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb; The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. 2 Peter 2:22.
