To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Though this precept shows an ethical advance on the part of some circle in the community — a conscious- ness that vindictive rejoicing over an enemy's fall is wrong — yet the temper of the man who gave this precept and of him who observed it is immeasurably lower than that of the plain man who prayed bluntly to God to raise him up that he might pay off old scores against his enemy. From the two conflicting series of passages on forgiveness we have now dealt with, we FORGIVING ONE'S NEIGHBOUR 14...3 see that there was no such thing as a pre- scribed and unquestioned doctrine of forgive- ness in the Old Testament, and that a Jew, however he chose to act towards his personal enemy, could justify his conduct from his sacred writings. It is easy to deduce the natural consequences of such a state of ethical confusion. When a man, and that, too, a good man, has suffered wrong, his usual course is not to ask what is the very highest and noblest line of conduct he could take towards his enemy, but generally what is the least exacting and yet ethically acceptable amongst his orthodox contemporaries.
