Leviticus 19:15

Justice, Love, and Propriety

19:15 “‘You ³  must not deal unjustly in judgment: ⁴  you must neither show partiality to the poor nor honor the rich. ⁵  You must judge your fellow citizen fairly. ⁶ 

[19:36]  ¹ tn Heb “balances of righteousness,” and so throughout this sentence.

[19:36]  ² sn An ephah is a dry measure which measures about four gallons, or perhaps one third of a bushel, while a hin is a liquid measure of about 3.6 liters (= approximately 1 quart).

[19:15]  ³ tc Smr has the singular rather than the plural “you” of the MT, which brings this verb form into line with the ones surrounding it.

[19:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “You shall not do injustice in judgment” (NASB similar); cf. NIV “do not pervert justice.”

[19:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “You shall not lift up faces of poor [people] and you shall not honor faces of great.”

[19:15]  ⁶ tn Heb “In righteousness you shall judge your fellow citizen.”
