Too start, some Torah:
The 9th and 10th
Commandments:
Exodus 20[16] Thou shalt not bear
false witness against thy neighbor
[17] Thou shalt not covet
thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt
not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his
ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor’s.
Exod.22 [7] If a man shall deliver unto his neighbor money
or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be
found, let him pay double.
[8] If the thief be not found, then the master of
the house shall be brought unto the judges, to see whether he have put his hand
unto his neighbor’s goods.
[9] For all manner of trespass, whether it be for
ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, which
another challenges to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the
judges; and whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbor.
[10] If a man deliver unto his neighbor an ass, or an
ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away,
no man seeing it:
[11] Then shall an oath of Yehovah
be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbor’s goods;
and the owner of it shall accept thereof, and he shall not make it good.
[12] And if it be stolen from him, he shall make
restitution unto the owner thereof.
[13] If it be torn in
pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that
which was torn.
[14] And if a man borrow ought of his neighbor, and
it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof being not with it, he shall surely make
it good.
[15] But if the owner
thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be an
hired thing, it came for his hire.
[1] And Yehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] If a soul sin,
and commit a trespass against Yehovah, and lie unto his neighbor in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a
thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbor;
[3] Or have found
that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth,
sinning therein:
[4] Then it shall be,
because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took
violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which
was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,
[5] Or all that about
which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and
shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering.
[6] And he shall bring his trespass offering unto Yehovah, a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy
estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest:
[7] And the priest
shall make an atonement for him before Yehovah: and
it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing
therein.
Lev.24 [19] And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbor; as
he hath done, so shall it be done to him; [20]
Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in
a man, so shall it be done to him again.
Lev.25 all about the
jubilee and how to take care of your neighbor - (read
yourselves)
יוֹבֵל yowbel {yo-vel} or יֹבֵל yobel {yov-al'}
Deut.4 [41]
Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;
[42] That the slayer
might flee thither, which should kill his neighbor unawares, and hated him not
in times past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live:
[43] Namely, Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead,
of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites.

A Great lesson
from the Messiah Yeshua
Luke 10
[25] And, behold, a certain lawyer
stood up, and tempted him, saying,
Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
[26] He said unto him,
What is written in the law? how readest thou?
[27] And he answering
said, Thou shalt
love Yehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all
thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy
mind; and thy neighbor as thyself.
[28] And he said unto
him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
[29]
But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Yeshua,
And who is my neighbour?
[30] And Yeshua answering said, A certain man went down from
Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his
raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
[31] And by chance
there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on
the other side.
[32] And likewise a
Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the
other side.
[33] But a certain
Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had
compassion on him,
[34]
And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him
on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
[35] And on the morrow
when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said
unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest
more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
[36] Which now of
these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour
unto him that fell among the thieves?
[37] And he said,
He that shewed mercy on him.
Then said Yeshua unto
him, Go, and do thou likewise.
The gospel of John concurs:
Now, some Proverbs:
Prov.3 [27] Withhold not good
from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine
hand to do it.
[28]
Say not unto thy neighbor, Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give; when
thou hast it by thee.
[29] Devise not evil
against thy neighbor, seeing he dwelleth securely by
thee.
Prov.6 [26] For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece
of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
[27]
Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not
be burned?
[28]
Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
[29] So he that goes in to his neighbor’s wife; whosoever touches her shall
not be innocent.
[30] Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is
hungry;
[31]
But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance
of his house.
[32]
But whoso commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding: he that doeth it
destroys his own soul.
[33]
A wound and dishonor shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.[34] For
jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of
vengeance.
[35]
He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest
content, though thou givest many gifts.
Prov.11 [9] An
hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbor: but
through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
[12] He that is void of wisdom despiseth
his neighbor: but a man of understanding holdeth his
peace.
Prov.12 [26] The righteous is more excellent than his neighbor:
but the way of the wicked seduceth them.
Prov.14 [20] The poor is hated even of his own neighbour:
but the rich hath many friends.
[21] He that despiseth his neighbor
sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is
he.
Prov.16 [29] A violent man enticeth his neighbor,
and leadeth him into the way that is not good.
Prov.18 [17] He that is
first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbor
cometh and searcheth him.
Prov.19 [4] Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbor.
Prov.21 [10] The soul of the wicked desireth
evil: his neighbor findeth no favour in his eyes.
Prov.24 [28] Be not a witness against thy neighbor without cause;
and deceive not with thy lips. [29] Say not, I will do so to him as
he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
Prov.25 [8] Go not forth
hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy
neighbor hath put thee to shame.
[9] Debate thy cause with thy neighbor himself; and
discover not a secret to another: [10] Lest he that heareth
it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.
[17] Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbor’s house;
lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.
[18] A man that beareth false
witness against his neighbor is a maul, and a
sword, and a sharp arrow.
Prov.26 [18] As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
[19] So is the man that deceiveth
his neighbor, and saith, Am not I in sport?
Prov.27 [10] Thine own friend, and thy father's
friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of
thy calamity: for better is a neighbor that is near than a brother far
off.
Prov.29 [5] A man that flattereth
his neighbor spreadeth
a net for his feet.
Ecclesiastes [4]
Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbor.
This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
Zealous, Jealousy and envious are much alike in meaning:
קָנָא qana' {ka-na'} Meaning: 1) to envy, be “jealous, be envious, be zealous” (in a bad way)
Envy - קִנְאָה
Jealous - קָנָא
May the God of peace be with you all.
Amen.
