An Index of “Neighbor” in the Holy Scriptures.

This is an index on the topic of “Neighbor” in the Holy Scriptures. It is profoundly informative. The miraculous verses from the Gospel on the Golden Rule have been modified with contemporary translations from the original, “Treat thy neighbor, as you would have thy neighbor treat thyself.”, to “Treat thy neighbor as thyself.”. I am old school on the Golden Rule because of how it conveys an important concept of reciprocity, but I have included in this Index the contemporary translations of its meaning in the mentioned verses.

“Suppose some of the people sin against the LORD by falsely telling their neighbor that an item entrusted to their safekeeping has been lost or stolen. Or suppose they have been dishonest with regard to a security deposit, or they have taken something by theft or extortion.

1 Then the LORD said to Moses, 

2 “Suppose one of you sins against your associate and is unfaithful to the LORD . Suppose you cheat in a deal involving a security deposit, or you steal or commit fraud, 

3 or you find lost property and lie about it, or you lie while swearing to tell the truth, or you commit any other such sin. 

4 If you have sinned in any of these ways, you are guilty. You must give back whatever you stole, or the money you took by extortion, or the security deposit, or the lost property you found, 

5 or anything obtained by swearing falsely. You must make restitution by paying the full price plus an additional 20 percent to the person you have harmed. On the same day you must present a guilt offering. 

6 As a guilt offering to the LORD, you must bring to the priest your own ram with no defects, or you may buy one of equal value. 

7 Through this process, the priest will purify you before the LORD, making you right with him, and you will be forgiven for any of these sins you have committed.”

26 Do nothing to the woman; she has committed no sin deserving death. This case is like that of someone who attacks and murders a neighbor, 

27 for the man found the young woman out in the country, and though the betrothed woman screamed, there was no one to rescue her. 

28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 

29 he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.
