This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
These are the things that ye shall do; you to whom I am returned, whom I have promised to bless, you have something to do that the blessing may come upon you, and look you do it. Beside building the temple and restoring public worship in sacrifices, these things ye must do.
Speak ye every man the truth; be true of your word, and lie not one to another, as becomes such a people, Psa_24:4 Pro_12:19 Hos_4:1.
To his neighbour; to all men: it hath been the sin of your fathers, they have lived, deceived, and cheated, not strangers, but brothers and neighbours; but do not ye so; every one you deal with is your neighbour, do you speak truth to every such one.
Execute the judgment of truth: see Zec_7:9.
And peace; that may restore, settle, and promote peace among you, as righteous judgments will do.
In your gates; either referring to the places of judicature, where the judges sat; or more generally and comprehensively through the whole land, Exo_20:10.
