What is the old testement version of do unto others as you would have them do unto you?

Answer 1

There is no real "Old Testament version" of the 'Golden Rule". It was given to Christians by Jesus, who told them to "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." He then added: "This, in fact, is what the Law and the Prophets mean." (Matthew 7:12)

The whole 'Old Testament' Law to Israel, among other things, was all about love; love of God and love of neighbor...treating others as we would like to be treated.

"The Law" had reference to the early writings of the 'old testament', that made up the first five books of The Bible. These laws prohibited adultery, murder, theft and covetousness, and could be summed up in the precept, "You must love your neighbor as yourself." The Apostle Paul added: "Love does not work evil to one's neighbor; therefore love is the law's fulfillment."-Romans 13:9, 10.

Just a few examples of 'treating others as we would like to be treated' can be found in the Law at:

Leviticus 19:33&4 "And in case an alien resident resides with you as an alien in YOUR land, YOU must not mistreat him...he should become to YOU like a native of YOURS; and you must love him as yourself, for YOU became alien residents in the land of Egypt."

Leviticus 19:35&6 "YOU must not commit injustice in judging, in measuring, in weighing or in measuring liquids. YOU should prove to have accurate scales, accurate weights..."
