Each Israelite was expected to obey such standards of conduct as the following: demonstrate proper regard for parents and older ones; show consideration for the deaf, the blind, and other afflicted ones; be honest and impartial in dealing with others; and love his fellow worshipper as himself.
Igalt iisraellaselt oodati, et ta kuuletuks järgmistele põhimõtetele: peaks lugu oma vanematest ja eakatest; arvestaks kurtide, pimedate ja rõhututega; oleks aus ja erapooletu; armastaks teisi jumalateenijaid nagu iseennast.
