*Laws #499-503 ~ BOOK TWELVE: THE BOOK OF ACQUISITION (Laws of Sales)


Law # 499 Buy and sell according to Torah Law (Lev 25:14)

Lev. 25:14 “And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbor, or buys out of thy neighbor's hand, ye shall not oppress one another…”

Law #500 Not to overcharge or underpay for an article (Lev. 25:14)

Lev. 25:14 “And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbor, or buys ought of thy neighbor's hand, ye shall not oppress one another…”

Law #501 Not to insult or harm anybody with words (Lev 25:17)

Lev. 25:17 “Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the Lord your God.”

**Law #502 Not to cheat a sincere convert monetarily (Ex. 22:20)

**Law #503 Not to insult or harm a sincere convert with words (Ex. 22:20)

Both of these commands are based on Ex. 22:20 but the actual vs is found in vs. 21 which talks about idolatry but the actual vs for these Laws is vs. 21 which reads

21 Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

These two Laws need to be changed to match their scripture.
