LOVE FOR HUMAN BEINGS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT

Love for one's neighbor, love for spouse, love for children, respect for the elderly

« LOVE FOR ONE'S NEIGHBOR»

« Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.» (Leviticus 19/18)

In order that a community may survive there must be healthy neighborhood relations. « But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.» (Leviticus 19/34)

LOVE FOR SPOUSE

« The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter»,(Genesis 28/56)

« …the wife of thy bosom,… »(Deuteronomy 13/6)

RESPECT FOR THE ELDERLY AND LOVE FOR CHILDREN

« Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.» (Deuteronomy 28/49)

Love for one's parents occupies the fifth rank among the Ten Commandments. Children's disobedience to their parents is an unpardonable offense.

« If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. »(Deuteronomy 21/18-21)
