  1. Miscellaneous Mitzvos:
  • Edomites and Egyptian: Do not abhor Edomites as they are your brother, and you are not to abhor Egyptians as you lived in their land. The children of a 3rd generation Edomite or Egyptian convert may enter the congregation of Hashem [i.e. marry a Jewess].
  • An impure person may not enter into the Levite encampment: One who is impure due to nocturnal emission must exit the camp. Towards evening he is to immerse in water and may then enter the camp after sundown.
  • Tzoa and Erva-Burying one’s excrement: A set place outside the camp is to be established for one to do his needs. Every soldier is to carry a shovel with his weaponry which will be used to cover his needs that were made outside of the camp. Hashem is found within the encampment and it therefore must remain holy. He should not see a shameful matter [i.e. Erva] and turn away from you.
  • Slaves: One is not to force a run-away slave to return [from Eretz Yisrael] to his master [in the Diaspora]. One is not to oppress a slave [who ran away to Eretz Yisrael].
  • Prostitution: A man or woman may not be promiscuous [and work as a prostitute]. You shall not offer a Karban that was the Esnan payment of a Zona, or was in exchange of a dog. Both are an abomination to G-d.
  • Interest: You may not take interest from a loan to a Jew so that Hashem can bless you in all your work. However, you may take interest from a loan to a gentile.
  • To fulfill vows: When you make a vow to Hashem, you shall not delay paying it, as Hashem will demand it from you and you will carry iniquity. If, however, you abstain from making a vow, you will not have a sin. You are to guard your word.
