Leviticus 5: 1 states: “Now in case a soul sins in that he has heard public cursing and he is a witness or he has seen it or has come to know of it, if he does not report it, then he must answer for his error. ” — Compare Deuteronomy 13: 6 - 8; Esther 6: 2; Proverbs 29: 24.
3. Mozus 5: 1 ir teikts: ” Ja kāds cilvēks apgrēkotos, dzirdēdams lādētāja balsi, vai būtu liecinieks, vai nu ko redzot, vai zinot, un ja tas tad nepaziņo, tad viņš nes savu pārkāpumu vainu. ” ( Salīdzināt 5. Mozus 13: 7 — 9; Esteres 6: 2; Salamana Pamācības 29: 24.)
