DEUT310 We earlier alluded to the following passage as containing one of the general moral principles of the Torah: [this and next verse]. As noted by Nachmanides, the command to do "what is right and good" must be seen in contrast to the preceding verse, which urges us to "keep the commandments." That is to say, where your situation is governed by specific commandments and statutes, by all means observe the commandments! But even where no particular precept or specific rule is relevant to your situation, you must nevertheless deliberate and determine on your own that which is "right and good in the sight of the Lord" and do it.
