“You shall not do at all what we are doing here [in the camp] today, every man doing whatever is right in his [own] eyes.

“Everything I command you, you shall be careful to do it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.

“Of all [creatures] that are in the waters, you may eat these: anything that has fins and scales you may eat,

but you may not eat anything that does not have fins and scales; it is unclean for you.

You may spend the money for anything your heart desires: for oxen, or sheep, or wine, or [other] strong drink, or anything else you want. You shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice, you and your household.

You may require repayment from a foreigner, but whatever of yours is with your brother [Israelite] your hand shall release.

but you shall freely open your hand to him, and shall generously lend to him whatever he needs.
