The concluding words of the pasuk are striking: “ָ‫ וְיֵָראתָ ּמֵאֱֹלֶקי‬- and you shall fear your G-d.” Rashi explains that this phrase appears speci cally in situations that are given over to the heart - matters that cannot always be detected or judged by others. The Torah teaches: ‫ וְֹל֤א תֹונּו֙ אִ֣יׁש אֶת־עֲמִיתֹ֔ו וְיֵָר֖אתָ ּמֵאֱֹלֶק֑יָ ּכִ֛י אֲנִ֥י ה אֱֹלֵקיכֶֽם‬- You shall not wrong one another, and you shall fear your G-d, for I am Hashem your G-d (Vayikra 25:17). Rashi, citing Chazal, explains that this pasuk is not referring to monetary oppression - which has already been addressed earlier - but rather to ona’as devarim, causing pain to another through words. Tavi replied: ‫מִיּנָּה טָבְּתָא ּומִינָּה‬ ‫ וְכַד ּבִיׁש לֵית ּבִיׁש מִּנֵיּה‬,‫ ּכַד הֲוָה טַב לֵית טָבָה מִּנֵיּה‬,‫ ּבִיׁשְּתָא‬- From it (the tongue) comes good, and from it comes bad. A Short Vort - Behar 5786 (5.26) BS”D With the reading of Parshas Behar, the Torah presents a number of mitzvos that govern economic life, interpersonal responsibility, and sensitivity toward others. The mitzvah of ‫ וְֹלא תֹונּו אִיׁש אֶת עֲמִיתֹו‬calls upon us to become more mindful of our speech - not only in avoiding harm, but in actively choosing words that uplift and strengthen. It includes any form of speech that diminishes another person - a sarcastic comment, a dismissive remark, a reminder of past failures, or words spoken without sensitivity to another’s situation. And perhaps this is why the Torah concludes with “ָ‫וְיֵָראתָ ּמֵאֱֹלֶקי‬.” Proper speech is not only a matter of interpersonal conduct; it is an expression of yiras Shamayim. The Medrash reinforces this idea with the words of Mishlei: ‫ מָוֶת וְחַּיִים ּבְיַד לָׁשֹון‬- Death and life are in the hands of the tongue (Mishlei 18:21). The Torah warns us not to hurt another person through speech - not to embarrass, not to insult, and not to speak in a way that causes emotional pain.
