Do the Do's, Don't the Don'ts, and Be the Be's

Some of the laws that the Lord God gave to Moses

 for the Israelites, months after Moses and his older 

brother Aaron led the Israelites, and those with them,

 away from Egyptian slavery, across the divinely parted

 Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur:

 Leviticus Chapter 19, 

 verses 11-18 

11.Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.

12.And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.

13.Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.

14.Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.

15.Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

16.Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the LORD.

17.Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.

18.Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the LORD.

Reference Information:

Aaron and his younger brother Moses were Israelites from the tribe of Levi, descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and his 1st wife Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. After the Lord God brought the 10th and final plague upon Egypt and Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, Moses and Aaron led the Israelites, and those with them, away from Egyptian slavery, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur. Months thereafter, in the desert wilderness of Sinai, in the region of Mount Sinai, the Israelites heard the voice of the Lord God proclaim the Ten Commandments to them, and the Lord God began giving Moses judgments, statutes, and laws for the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. The laws that the Lord God gave involved issues of behavior, clothing, work, rest, animals, and finances. Moses told the Israelites that if they diligently obeyed the voice of the Lord God and accomplished the commandments of the Lord God, blessings would overtake them. However, if the Israelites did not obey the voice of the Lord God and did not keep the commandments of the Lord God, curses would overtake them. During the 40th year of their journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, Aaron died and was buried upon Mount Hor, and Moses went upon Mount Nebo. The Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and Moses died and was divinely buried. Over 1,400 years after Joshua, Moses' successor, led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River. Shortly thereafter, Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites. The Pharisees were a prominent sect of Israelites and viewed themselves as the group that fully observed every law that the Lord God gave to Moses and every tradition held by the Israelite elders. Jesus taught that the 2 greatest commandments are to love the Lord God with all one's heart, soul, mind, and strength and to love one's neighbor as oneself. The apostle Paul (Saul) was an Israelite from the tribe of Benjamin, descended from Jacob and his 2nd wife Rachel, and Jacob and Rachel's 2nd and last son Benjamin. Paul was divinely inspired to write that the law is fulfilled in loving one's neighbor as one's self.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 7:20-29, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, 6:1-8:4, 9:1-31, 11:19-28:31, Romans 1:1-32, 13:1-14, Galatians 1:1-24, 5:1-26
