Leviticus 19
1.A repetition of various laws














You must not pervert justice;
This command underscores the importance of maintaining integrity and fairness in legal matters. In the ancient Israelite context, justice was a foundational principle of the community, reflecting God's own nature as just and righteous. The Hebrew word for "pervert" implies a twisting or distortion, suggesting that justice must remain pure and unaltered. This principle is echoed throughout Scripture, such as inDeuteronomy 16:19, where leaders are warned against distorting justice. The call to uphold justice is a reflection of God's character, as seen inIsaiah 61:8, where God declares His love for justice.

you must not show partiality to the poor
This phrase highlights the need for impartiality in judgment, regardless of a person's social or economic status. In the cultural context of ancient Israel, the poor were often vulnerable and could be easily exploited. However, this command insists that their poverty should not influence the fairness of legal proceedings. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of God's concern for justice for all, as seen inExodus 23:3, which also warns against showing favoritism to the poor in legal matters.

or favoritism to the rich;
Similarly, this phrase warns against the common human tendency to favor the wealthy, who might wield influence or power. In the historical context, the rich could potentially bribe or sway judges, leading to corrupt decisions. The Bible consistently condemns such practices, as seen inProverbs 18:5, which states that it is not good to be partial to the wicked or to deprive the innocent of justice. This command ensures that justice is blind to wealth and status, reflecting the impartiality of God, who judges all people equally.

you are to judge your neighbor fairly.
This final phrase encapsulates the essence of the command: fairness and equity in judgment. The term "neighbor" implies a close community relationship, emphasizing that justice is not just a legal obligation but a moral one that affects communal harmony. This principle is reiterated in the New Testament, where Jesus teaches the importance of loving one's neighbor as oneself (Matthew 22:39). The call to judge fairly is a reflection of God's own fair and righteous judgment, as seen in passages likePsalm 9:8, where God judges the world with righteousness and the peoples with equity.

What is the Bible's stance on inequality?

What is the Bible's stance on classism?

What is the Bible's stance on classism?

What is the Bible's perspective on justice?(15)Do no unrighteousness in judgment.--That is, the judges are not to abuse the authority vested in them by virtue of their office, by administering what ought to be justice in an arbitrary manner.

Thou shalt not respect the person of the poor.--The general statement in the preceding clause is here more minutely defined. The consideration for the infirm enjoined inLeviticus 19:14 is not to influence the decision of the judge, who is to administer justice, even if the poor is thereby reduced to greater poverty, and though the rich party to the suit may benevolently desire a verdict against himself to save the needy (Exodus 23:3). The authorities during the second Temple illustrate it as follows:--"If the rich man should say I am by law obliged to provide for the poor, I will therefore let him win the suit, and he will thus have his wants supplied without being subjected to the humiliation of receiving alms; for this reason it is said thou shalt not respect the person of the poor."

Nor honour the person of the mighty.--Jewish juries, in their extreme desire to be impartial, have gone so far as to urge, that whilst the case betweenarich man and a poor is being tried, they should both be dressed alike, both alike should either stand or sit, both should have the same right of speech, and both should be addressed by the judge in the same courteous manner. "If ye have respect to persons," says the Apostle, in allusion to this passage, "ye commit sin,andare convinced of the law as transgressors" (James 2:9, withLeviticus 19:2-4).

Verse 15. - Justice is to be done to all. The less danger ofrespecting the person of the poor has to be guarded against, as well as the greater and more obvious peril ofhonouring the person of the mighty. The scales of Justice must be held even and her eyes bandaged, that she may not prefer one appellant to another on any ground except that of merit and demerit. "If ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors" (James 2:9).
