17 “‘You[m] shall not hate your[n] brother in your[o] heart; you[p] shall surely rebuke your[q] fellow citizen, so that you[r] do not incur sin along with[s] him. 18 You[t] shall not seek vengeance, and you[u] shall not harbor a grudge against your[v] fellow citizens;[w] and you[x] shall love your[y] neighbor like yourself; [z] I am Yahweh.

You Shall Keep My Statutes

19 “‘You[aa] must keep my statutes: as for your[ab] domestic animals, you[ac] shall not cause two differing kinds to breed; as for your[ad] field, you[ae] shall not sow two differing kinds of seed; and, a garment of two differing kinds of woven material should not be worn on you.[af]

15 You must not act unjustly in a legal case. Do not show favoritism to the poor or deference to the great; you must judge your fellow Israelites fairly. 16 Do not go around slandering your people.[a] Do not stand by while your neighbor’s blood is shed;[b] I am the Lord. 17 You must not hate your fellow Israelite in your heart. Rebuke your fellow Israelite strongly, so you don’t become responsible for his sin.[c] 18 You must not take revenge nor hold a grudge against any of your people; instead, you must love your neighbor as yourself; I am the Lord.

19 You must keep my rules. Do not crossbreed your livestock, do not plant your field with two kinds of seed, and do not wear clothes made from two kinds of material.
