Have we not all the same God? Has not one God created us?
Why do we deal treacherously, a person against neighbor?
Justice shall you pursue, that you may live in your land.
If a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not wrong him/her.
The stranger that sojourns with you, shall be unto you as the native among you, and you shall love him/her as yourself. One law shall be among you for the native and the stranger alike.
If your neighbor becomes poor and his/her means fail, you shall uphold him/her.
Harden not your hearts to the needy in your midst, nor shut your hand to the needy; But open your hand unto him/her, and lend him/her sufficient for his/her needs.
Hate not your brother/sister in your heart; love your neighbour as yourself.
You shall deal your bread to the hungry, and bring the poor that are cast out to your house. When you see the naked, cover him/her, and hide not yourself from your own flesh.
You have given man/woman understanding and insight and have shown him/her what is good and evil. You have revealed unto him/her what is good; you have given him/her to choose between right and wrong.
You have given him/her a mind, that he might use hisher blessings wisely; a heart You have given him/her and free will that he/she might consider his/her ways and live according to Your will.
We are mindful of all the great gifts which You, O Lord, have given us; may we use them wisely that they may not be in vain. You have been told, o man/woman, what is good, and what the Lord requires of you; to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
Then shall your light break forth as the morning, and your healing shall spring forth speedily; your righteousness shall go before you, the Glory of God shall be your protection.
Behold how good and how pleasant it is, when people dwell together in unity.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord's countenance shine upon you, and be gracious unto you.
May the Lord's blessing be upon you and give you peace. Amen
