| It is not incumbent upon you to finish the task. Yet, you are not free to desist from it. [AJWS translation] |
לא עליך המלאכה לגמור ולא אתה בן חורין ליבטל ממנה.

| And for all transgressions of the Torah is not the whole world punished? Lo, it is written, "And they shall stumble one upon another" (Leviticus 26) - one because of the iniquity of the other; this teaches us that all Israel are responsible for one another. [Soncino translation] |
כל עבירות שבתורה מכל העולם לא? והכתיב (ויקרא כ"ו) וכשלו איש באחיו - איש בעון אחיו, מלמד שכל ישראל ערבים זה בזה!
|
Leviticus 19:14
| Translation |
Original |
| You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling-block before the blind, but you shall fear thy God: I am the LORD. |
לֹא תְקַלֵּל חֵרֵשׁ וְלִפְנֵי עִוֵּר לֹא תִתֵּן מִכְשֹׁל וְיָרֵאתָ מֵּאֱלֹהֶיךָ אֲנִי יְקֹוָק:

Leviticus 19:33-34
| Translation |

| When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not wrong him. The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as one of your citizens; you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I the LORD am your God. [JPS translation] |
וְכִי יָגוּר אִתְּךָ גֵּר בְּאַרְצְכֶם לֹא תוֹנוּ אֹתוֹ: כְּאֶזְרָח מִכֶּם יִהְיֶה לָכֶם הַגֵּר הַגָּר אִתְּכֶם וְאָהַבְתָּ לוֹ כָּמוֹךָ כִּי גֵרִים הֱיִיתֶם בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם אֲנִי ה' אֱלֹהֵיכֶם:

Genesis 1:26 -31

| And God created human in God’s own image, in the image of God, God created him; male and female God created them. [JPS translation] |
וַיִּבְרָא אֱלֹהִים אֶת הָאָדָם בְּצַלְםוֹ בְּצֶלֶם אֱלֹהִים בָּרָא אֹתוֹ זָכָר וּנְקֵבָה בָּרָא אֹתָם:
