14 Y ou shall not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall fear your God. I am the Lord.

16 Y ou shall not go up and down as a dispenser of gossip and scandal among your people, nor shall you endanger the life of your neighbor. I am the Lord.

17 Y ou shall not hate your brother in your heart; but you shall surely rebuke your neighbor, lest you incur sin because of him.

18 Y ou shall not take revenge or bear any grudge against the sons of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.

19 Y ou shall keep My statutes. You shall not let your domestic animals breed with a different kind; you shall not sow your field with mixed seed, neither wear a garment of linen mixed with wool.

20 A nd if a man lies carnally with a woman who is a slave betrothed to a husband and not yet ransomed or given her freedom, they shall be punished; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free;
