If an Adam is Tsadaq and ʿAsah Mishpat and Tsadaqah, does not eat upon the mountains, does not lift his eyes toward the idols of the house of Yashar'al, does not defile his neighbor's wife, and does not draw near to a woman during her impurity, does not oppress an Adam, returns the debtor's pledge, commits no robbery, gives his bread to the hungry, and covers the naked with clothing, does not lend at interest or take increase, withdraws his hand from ʿAwal, and ʿAsah Mishpat of Amat between Adam and Adam, Halak in My Khukim and guards My Mishpatim to ʿAsah Amat, he is Tsadaq. He shall surely live, declares Yahuah Alahym.
