This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Nor bear any grudge, Heb. nor keep, either,
1. The injury here supposed in thy memory: so it is opposed to those who say they will forgive, but not forget an injury. Or,
2. Anger or hatred in thy heart: so this verb is used Jer_3:12 Nah_1:2. Thy neighbour; by which he understands not the Israelites only, as some would persuade us, but every other man with whom we converse, as plainly appears,
1. By comparing this place with Lev_19:34, where this very law is applied to strangers.
2. Because the word
neighbour is explained by another man, Lev_20:10 Rom_13:8: see more on Exo_20:16.
As thyself; with the same sincerity, though not equality, of affection, as to thyself.
