Yeshua said, “‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony,

¹⁹ honor your father and mother,’ and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’”^[a]

²⁰ “All these I’ve kept,” the young man said to Him. “What do I still lack?”

²¹ Yeshua said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you own, and give to the poor; and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”

6 “Now this is the commandment, the statutes and ordinances that Adonai your God commanded to teach you to do in the land you are crossing over to possess— ² so that you might fear Adonai your God, to keep all His statutes and mitzvot that I am commanding you and your son and your son’s son all the days of your life, and so that you may prolong your days. ³ Hear, therefore, O Israel, and take care to do this, so that it may go well with you and you may increase mightily, as Adonai the God of your fathers has promised you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
