or to perform certain religious ceremonies, if he has the
wherewithal, but it is the duty of each one even to go begging at
men' doors, if he cannot otherwise maintain his parents. [226]

The sixth commandment said: "O My people Israel, be no slayers
of men, do not associate with murderers, and shun their
companionship, that your children may not learn the craft of
murder." As a penalty for deeds of murder, God will send a
devastating war over mankind. [227] There are two divisions in
Sheol, an inner and an outer. In the latter are all those who were
slain before their time. There they stay until the course of the time
predestined them is run; and every time a murder has been
committed, God says: "Who has slain this person and has forced
Me to keep him in the outer Sheol, so that I must appear
unmerciful to have removed him from earth before his time?"
[228] On the Judgement Day the slain will appear before God, and
will implore Him: "O Lord of the world! Thou hast formed me,
Thou hast developed me, Thou hast been gracious unto me while I
was in the womb, so that I left it unharmed. Thou in Thy great
mercy hast provided for me. O Lord of all worlds! Grant me
satisfaction from this villain that knew no pity for me." Then God's
wrath will be kindled against the murderer, into Gehenna will he
throw him and damn him for all eternity, while the slain will see
satisfaction given him, and be glad. [229]

The seventh commandment says: "O My people of Israel, be not
adulterers, nor the accomplices or companions of adulterers, that
your children after you may not be adulterers. Commit no unchaste
deeds, with your hands, feet, eyes, or ears, for as a punishment
therefore the plague will come over the world." [230]
