The Talmud is a collection of early commentary by revered Jewish Scholars and Rabbis on the Holy Tanakh and was compiled over a period of 300 years from 200 to AD 500. They had the goal of helping the faithful to better understand and apply the laws and teachings as set out in the Holy Tanakh. We are honored to present excerpts from Chapter 2 of “Tract Derech Eretz--Rabba.” Tract Derech Eretz—Rabba (Worldly Affairs.) Chapter 2[…] “I the Lord search the heart, probe the veins.” Those who are wronged and do not wrong, etc.; those who consider themselves contemptible and despicable, those who overcome their passion, and are altogether modest, of them the Scripture says [Isaiah 49:8]: “Thus has said the Lord, In the time of favor have I answered thee, and on the day of salvation have I helped thee, and I will preserve thee, and I will appoint thee as a people of my covenant to raise up the land, to divide out desolate heritages.” Trustworthy men, those who keep other people's secrets, those who gladly return articles in trusted to their care, and found things to their rightful owners, of them Scripture says [Psalm 101:6]: “My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may abide with me.” One who loves his wife as himself, who honors her more than himself, and one who leads his children on the right path, and one who marries off his son in due time to prevent him from sin, of them it is written [Job 5:24]: “And thou shall know that there is peace in thy tent; and thou wilt look over thy habitation, and shall miss nothing. And thou shall know that thy seed is numerous, and thy offspring as the herbage of the Earth.” One who loves his neighbors and is friendly to his relatives, and one who marries off his sister's daughter, and one who loans even a small amount to a poor man in his need, of them the Scripture says [Isaiah 58:9]: “Then shall thou call, and the Lord will answer.” One who executes his trust rightfully, those who truthfully repent, and those who receive the repentant into their midst and instruct them so that they shall not return to their former sins, of them it is written [Isaiah 58. 8]: “Then shall break forth as the morning-dawn thy light.”
