297 - NEGLECTING TO SAVE AN ISRAELITE IN DANGER OF LIFE
Leviticus 19:16 -- “You shall not go about as a talebearer among your people; nor shall you take a stand against the life of your neighbor: I am the LORD.”
Leviticus 5:1 -- “If a person sins in hearing the utterance of an oath, and is a witness, whether he has seen or known of the matter--if he does not tell it, he bears guilt.”
By this prohibition, it is forbidden to neglect to save the life of an Israelite whom we see in danger of death and destruction, and whom it is in our power to save.
