3 Y ou shall not do what is done in the land of Egypt where you lived, nor are you to do what is done in the land of Canaan where I am bringing you; you shall not walk in their statutes.

فَلا تَعمَلُوا الأشياءَ الَّتِي كانَتْ تُعمَلُ فِي أرْضِ مِصرَ حَيثُ كُنتُمْ تَسكُنُونَ. وَلا تَعمَلُوا الأُمُورَ الَّتِي تُعمَلُ فِي أرْضِ كَنعانَ حَيثُ سَأُحضِرُكُمْ. وَلا تَعِيشُوا بِحَسَبِ شَرائِعِهِمْ،

4 Y ou are to perform My judgments and keep My statutes, to live in accord with them; I am the Lord your God.
