(ג) דרך ה' לעשות צדקה ומשפט: כמו שאמר ירמיה (ט' כ"ב) כי אם בזאת יתהלל המתהלל השכל וידוע אותי כי אני ה' עושה חסד משפט וצדקה בארץ כי באלה חפצתי.
...
(ה) לעשות צדקה ומשפט: צדקה היא להטיב לזולתנו, ומשפט הוא שלא לעשות עוול לשום אדם (כי כמה פעמים אדם עושה צדקה עם קצת, ועושק וחומס את אחרים) ואין צורך לדחוק ולפרש כמו שפירשתי ב"בכורי העתים" לשנת תר"ו עמוד ח' שאם יהיה אדם שופט אז יעשה גם משפט, להציל עשוק מיד עושקו וכו'.
(3) "the way of God in doing what is just and right" : Like Jeremiah said (Jeremiah 9:23), "But only in this should one glory: In their earnest devotion to and knowledge of me, for I the Lord act with kindness, justice, and equity in the world; for in these I delight..."
(5) "in doing what is just and right" : Justice is to make things better for our poor/disgraced, and right/law is to not do injustice to any human (for sometimes a person acts justly with a few, and exploits and robs others), and no need to explain as I did earlier...that if a man is to be a judge, he must also do justice, to save the exploited from his exploiter, etc.
(א) חלילה. דבר שלא יתכן. וי''א שהמלה כטעם חלול שאין בו כלום
In any event, they said: Anyone who had the capability to effectively protest the sinful conduct of the members of his household and did not protest, he himself is apprehended for the sins of the members of his household and punished. If he is in a position to protest the sinful conduct of the people of his town, and he fails to do so, he is apprehended for the sins of the people of his town. If he is in a position to protest the sinful conduct of the whole world, and he fails to do so, he is apprehended for the sins of the whole world.
