DEUT780 The Torah Was Aware Of Morality As Such. Another indication that the Pentateuch was aware of the special nature of a certain class of moral rules is to be found in the fact that a promise of blessing is held out for the observance of some of these commandments. For example, in connection with lending money without interest, we find the promise, "that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all that Thou puttest thy hand into." In "sending forth the dam," "… that it may be well with thee and thou mayest prolong thy days." In restoring a poor man's pledge, "… and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the Lord thy God." In setting free the Hebrew slave with gifts, "… and the Lord thy God will bless thee in all that thou doest." In lending money to the poor prior to the Sabbatical year, "… thou shalt surely give him and thy heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him, because for this the Lord thy God will bless thee in all thy works." (Deuteronomy 23:21, 22:7, 24:13, 15:18, this verse). It has been noted by Nachmanides that the promise of God's blessing after individual laws is to be found only in connection with those commandments that reflect "love and righteousness (chesed u'tzedakah) but not for observing commandments such as "Thou shall not steal" or "Thou shall not deceive," which are required by the attribute of justice (See his commentary on Deuteronomy 23:20. ... he also interprets the talmudic passage in Chullin 110b ... as reflecting this principle. Since these commandments for which reward is promised involve moral concerns beyond legal rights, human courts are not to enforce them through compulsory means). The Pentateuch's usage, which consistently restricts such a locution to commandments reflecting a positive love for one's neighbor, would appear to constitute evidence of an awareness of their special character.
