1
Honor Yahuah, reject idolatry, false witness, murder, adultery, theft, covetous seizure, and oppression of the weak.
2
Use just weights and measures. Return lost property when the owner is known. Do not move a boundary by fraud.
3
Pay the worker what is due. Do not exploit the stranger merely because he lacks kin.
4
Do not accept a bribe to condemn the innocent or acquit the guilty.
5
Parents, children, rulers, ministers, employers, workers, creditors, debtors, husbands, and wives each carry obligations proportionate to their relation.
6
Mercy and judgment are not enemies. Mercy may temper punishment; it does not require pretending that injury never occurred.
7
Where the Besorah intensifies the inward standard of conduct, the judge shall distinguish moral instruction addressed to conscience from civil remedies assigned to courts.
