13You must not defraud your neighbor or rob him. You must not withhold until morning the wages due a hired hand.
14You must not curse the deaf or place a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall fear your God. I am the LORD.
Focused Passage
Leviticus 19:13-14
Be Holy Because I Am Holy: Covenant Life Before God and Neighbor
The LORD commands the whole assembly of Israel to be holy because He is holy, then applies that holiness across reverence for parents, Sabbath keeping, rejection of idols, proper fellowship offerings, care for the poor and foreigner, honesty, justice, love of neighbor, sexual and agricultural boundaries, rejection of pagan practices, Sabbath and sanctuary reverence, honoring the elderly, love for the foreigner, and honest weights and measures.
