He does not ·have sexual relations with [L defile] his neighbor’s wife or ·with [L come near; C a euphemism for sexual relations] a woman during her time of ·monthly bleeding [impurity; Lev. 18:19].

He gives bread to the hungry and ·clothes to those who have none [L covers the naked with clothing].
