Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 “Sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pé: ‘Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.
“Speak to the Israeli people and tell them [that I, Yahweh, say this] this: I am Yahweh, your God.

[So you must do what I want you to do]; you must not do the things that the people in Egypt, where you lived previously, do; and you must not do what is done by the people in Canaan, the land to which I am taking you. Do not imitate their behavior.
