Leviticus 22:32

30 It must be eaten that same day. Do not leave any of it until morning. I am the LORD.

31 You are to keep My commandments and practice them. I am the LORD.

You must not profane My holy name. I must be acknowledged as holy among the Israelites. I am the LORD who sanctifies you,

33 who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD.”

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
