21 YOU have heard that it was said unto them who were before, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill is obnoxious to the judgment.
22 But I say unto you, that he who is angry against his brother rashly, is obnoxious to the judgment; and he who shall say to his brother, Thou empty one! is liable to the council; and every one who shall say, Thou fool! is liable to the gihano of fire.
23 If it occur, therefore, that thou bring thy oblation to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother retaineth some enmity against thee;
24 leave there thy oblation at the altar, and go, first be reconciled with thy brother, and then come and offer thy oblation.
25 Be at one with thine adversary [Beel-dino, "lord of strife."] quickly, while thou art with him in the way; lest thy adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the exactor, and thou fall into the house of the bound.
26 And, Amen I say unto thee, that thou shalt not come forth from thence till thou hast rendered the last shamuna. [A minute coin, in value the one-eighth of the asor, or assarius; from the Hebrew shemoneh, " eight."]
27 You have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt not commit adultery.
28 But I say to you, that every one who beholdeth a woman so as that he shall desire her, already committeth adultery in his heart.
29 But if thy right eye cause thee to offend, root it out and cast it from thee: it is better to thee that one of thy members should perish, than that thy whole body should fall into gihano.
30 And if thy right hand cause thee to offend, cut it off and cast it from thee; for it is better to thee that one from thy members should perish, rather than thy whole body should fall into gihano.
31 It hath been said, that he who looseth his wife should give her a writing of divorcement.
32 But I say unto you, that whosoever looseth his wife, except on account of fornication, maketh her to commit adultery; and whosoever taketh her who is sent away, committeth adultery.
33 Again, you have heard it was said to those beforetime, Thou shalt not lie in thine oaths, but shalt fulfil thine oaths unto the Lord.
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all: not by heaven, for it is the throne of Aloha;
35 nor by earth, for it is the foot-stool beneath his feet; neither by Urishlem, for it is the city of the great king.
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make a single hair in it either black or white.
37 But let your discourse be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay; for whatsoever is more than these is from the evil.
