6. And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall
not wholly reap the corners of your field, not gather the
gleanings after your harvest. And you shall not glean your
vineyard, nor gather its fallen fruit; you shall leave them
for the poor and the stranger.
7. You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block
before the blind.
8. You shall do no injustice in judgment; you shall not be
partial toward the person of the poor, not favor the person
of the mighty, but in righteousness shall you judge your
neighbor.
9. You shall not be a talebearer; neither shall you stand
idly by the blood of your neighbor.
17
10. You shall not hate your brother in your heart, nor
shall you rebuke him so as to cause sin upon him.
11. You shall seek no vengeance, nor bear a grudge, but
you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.
12. You shall keep my Sabbaths, and reverence in my
sanctuary.
13. And when a stranger dwells in your land, you shall not
wrong him. The stranger among you shall be to you as
the home-born among you, and you shall love him as
yourself (
