Fulfill
the Words that Cross your Lips
Selections
from Devarim/Words in Ki
Teze Deut. 21.10 -25.9
Wherever you go and wherever you are
This is the camp of the Lord
When you say you’ll do something, do
it!
Fulfill the words that cross your
lips This is empowering
If you feel impure, bathe in clean
water
And re-dedicate yourself to your
most noble intentions
Use honest weights and measures
With no alternate weights in your
pouch
In this way endure in the land of
your sacred inheritance
Don’t be indifferent to another’s
difficulties or losses
Assist however you can
You’re always free to divorce. No one owns another
When you marry, consider it forever
Give happiness to the person you
marry
Don’t regularly dress yourself as
someone you are not
Don’t prostitute yourself
Even for what you consider a sacred
cause
Lend to relatives and friends
without charging interest
Thus, God blesses you in all your
undertakings
Never defame anyone
Or speak disrespectfully of their
intimate life
Whoever takes sexual advantage of an
innocent woman or man
Must stand face to face before our
mother and father in heaven
Don’t abhor or exclude anyone
Who may derive from another culture,
ethnic background or nationality Including those from races or lands where we
were persecuted
Remember to forget Amalek
“Beware of
pride until your dying day.” – Ba’al Shem
Tov
