LEV475 [This verse]. Duties toward our fellow men are described in Leviticus 19:11-16. According to Hertz (The Pentateuch and Haftorahs, London, Soncino Press, 2nd edit. 1962, pp. 499-501), these precepts restate the fundamental rules of life in human society that are contained in the second tablet of the Decalogue. These moral principles were expanded by the Sages and apply to every phase of civil and criminal law.
