MAERERANO neMutemo waMosesi pane pazvainge zvakakodzera kuti vaJudha vapike. Zvisinei, vanhu vakararama panguva yaJesu vakanga vava kungoti chero zvavataura votozvisimbisa nemhiko. Izvi vaizviitira kuti vanhu vabvume zvavaitaura, asi Jesu akashora tsika yacho kaviri. Akadzidzisa kuti: “Shoko renyu rokuti Hungu ngaringova Hungu, Aiwa wenyu, Aiwa.”​—Mat. 5:33-37; 23:16-22.

Iyi imhaka yekuti Talmud inonyatsotaura muudzamu kuti imhiko dzipi dzaifanira kuchengetwa uye kuti ndedzipi dzaigona kutyorwa.

Jesu haasi iye ega akashora tsika iyi. Semuenzaniso, munyori wenhoroondo yechiJudha, Flavius Josephus akataura nezvevanhu vekamwe kapoka kechiJudha achiti: “Vanodzivisa kupika vachiti kwakaipa kupfuura kureva nhema. Vanoti munhu anopika kuitira kuti vamwe vabvume zvaari kutaura, murevi wenhema.” Rimwe bhuku rechiJudha rinozivikanwa seWisdom of Sirach, kana kuti Ecclesiasticus, (23:11) rinotiwo: “Munhu ane tsika yekupika haateereri mutemo zvachose.” Jesu akashora tsika yekurerutsa mhiko. Kana tichitaura chokwadi nguva dzese, hatifaniri hedu kuita mhiko kuti vanhu vabvume mashoko edu.
