He who perverts the justice due to anyone in Israel transgresses one negative commandment, which is contained in His words, You shall do no injustice in judgment;* but he who perverts the justice due to a proselyte transgresses two negative commandments, as the Sifre says: “You shall not pervert justice due the stranger: this teaches us that he who perverts the justice due to a proselyte violates two negative commandments.”** And if the proselyte was fatherless, he transgresses three. * Lev. XIX, 15; see Neg. Comm. 273
** Deut. XXIV, 17, Sifre |
