Ye shall not therefore oppress one another
on Leviticus 25:17-19
What holds a man back from squeezing his neighbour here is the fear of God rather than a court. Verse 17 closes with I am the LORD your God, and in this book that sentence carries the weight of a reason. Safety in the land is then promised twice in two verses, and it is fastened to keeping the statutes rather than to walls, treaties or armies.
