And the Lord said to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, I am the Lord your God. You may not do those things which were done in the land of Egypt where you were living; and you may not do those things which are done in the land of Canaan where I am taking you, or be guided in your behaviour by their rules.

You are not to do things then in the way in which we now do them here, every man as it seems right to him:









He who gets mixed up in a fight which is not his business, is like one who takes a dog by the ears while it is going by.


Do not be quick to go to law about what you have seen, for what will you do in the end, when your neighbour has put you to shame?


But if you have bitter envy in your heart and the desire to get the better of others, have no pride in this, talking falsely against what is true.

Do not take up a cause at law against a man for nothing, if he has done you no wrong.

Put these things before them, giving them orders in the name of the Lord to keep themselves from fighting about words, which is of no profit, only causing error in their hearers.




Do not be quick to go to law about what you have seen, for what will you do in the end, when your neighbour has put you to shame? Have a talk with your neighbour himself about your cause, but do not give away the secret of another: Or your hearer may say evil of you, and your shame will not be turned away.



Do not take up a cause at law against a man for nothing, if he has done you no wrong.
