LEVITICUS | 19:17 hate — LEV564 The charge that Judaism limits the law of ...

LEV564 The charge that Judaism limits the law of love to Jewish neighbors is contradicted not only by Leviticus 19:34 and Deuteronomy 10:19 but also by the whole emphasis of Judaism on love and brotherhood as basic elements in its ethical tradition. Hillel's teaching that man must love his fellow creatures and bring them near unto the Torah clearly includes all mankind under the law of love. The charge of misanthropy which, as we noted, was refuted by Josephus, reappeared in different form in the New Testament. Matthew 5:43 ascribes these words to Jesus: "Ye have heard that it was said, 'Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thy enemy, 'but I say unto you, Love your enemies." (Continued at [[EXOD796]] Exodus 23:4 enemy COHON 213)
