Aliya Summary: We are commandment to love converts. We are also
enjoined to be truthful in business dealing by maintaining honest
weights and measures. The Torah prescribes capital punishment for one
who worships Molech; a form of idolatry which required human sacrifices.
The Torah also describes the punishment which will befall the nation if
they neglect to punish Molech worshippers.
Keep all of
G-d's statutes and laws. (This too is a commandment, but it would be
"unfair" to count it among the 613 mitzvot, because it is general and
all-encompassing of the other mitzvot of the Torah. The Rambam excludes
this kind of mitzva from the counting of 613 commandments in the rule he
sets down in the first section of his Book of Mitzvot. )
