Leviticus 19
1.A repetition of various laws














You must not go about spreading slander among your people.
This command emphasizes the importance of maintaining integrity and truthfulness within the community. In ancient Israel, the community was tightly knit, and slander could easily disrupt social harmony and trust. The Hebrew word for "slander" can also mean "to go about as a talebearer," indicating the destructive nature of gossip.Proverbs 11:13 and 20:19 warn against the dangers of gossip, highlighting its potential to ruin relationships and reputations. The New Testament echoes this sentiment inJames 4:11, where believers are instructed not to speak evil against one another. This command reflects God's desire for His people to live in truth and love, fostering unity and peace.

You must not endanger the life of your neighbor.
This phrase underscores the value of human life and the responsibility to protect and preserve it. In the context of ancient Israel, this could refer to various actions that might put others at risk, whether through negligence, malice, or indifference. The principle of loving one's neighbor as oneself, found inLeviticus 19:18, is foundational here, and Jesus reiterates this command inMatthew 22:39 as the second greatest commandment. The sanctity of life is a consistent theme throughout Scripture, as seen in the commandment "You shall not murder" (Exodus 20:13). This directive calls for proactive care and concern for the well-being of others, reflecting God's character as a protector and sustainer of life.

I am the LORD.
This declaration serves as a divine seal of authority and a reminder of God's sovereignty. The phrase "I am the LORD" appears frequently in Leviticus, emphasizing that the laws given are not merely human constructs but divine mandates. It reminds the Israelites of their covenant relationship with God, who delivered them from Egypt and called them to be a holy nation (Exodus 19:5-6). This statement reinforces the seriousness of the command and the expectation of obedience. It also points to God's unchanging nature and His ultimate authority over moral and ethical standards. In the New Testament, Jesus affirms His divine authority in similar ways, such as inJohn 8:58, where He declares, "Before Abraham was born, I am," linking Himself to the eternal "I AM" of the Old Testament.

Lists and Questions
Top 10 Lessons from Leviticus 19

What is the Bible's stance on snitching?

What are the main themes of the Bible's books?

What does "Speak Evil of No Man" mean?

What does the Bible say about church gossip?(16)Thou shalt not go up and down as a tale-bearer.--Better,Thou shalt not go about slandering,as the Authorised Version has it inJeremiah 6:28;Jeremiah 9:4;Ezekiel 22:9, Margin. Whilst giving just evidence in a court of justice is demanded by the law, it prohibits the circulation of slanderous reports about our neighbours. This dangerous habit, which has ruined the character and destroyed the life of many an innocent person (1Samuel 22:9;1Samuel 22:18;Ezekiel 22:9, &c.), was denounced by the spiritual authorities in the time of Christ as the greatest sin. Three things they declared remove a man from this world, and deprive him of happiness in the world to come--idolatry, incest, and murder, but slander surpasses them all. It kills three persons with one act, the person who slanders, the person who is slandered, and the person who listens to the slander. Hence the ancient Chaldee Version of Jonathan translates this clause: "Thou shalt not follow the thrice accursed tongue, for it is more fatal than the double-edged devouring sword." (Comp. alsoEcclesiasticus 28:14) . . .Verse 16. -Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people. For the evil done by mere idle talebearing, see Bishop Butler's sermon, 'Upon the Government of the Tongue,' and four sermons by Bishop Jeremy Taylor, on 'The Good and Evil Tongue; Slander and Flattery; the Duties of the Tongue.'Neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour; that is, thou shalt not endanger his life, which is the result of the worst kind of talebearing, namely, bearing false witness against him. Thus the effect of the false witness of the two men of Belial against Naboth was that "they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died" (1 Kings 21:13; cf.Matthew 26:60;Matthew 27:4).
