There are parallels in the Torah to the concept in Ephesians 5:6, which warns against being deceived by empty words. The Torah frequently emphasizes the importance of truth and warns against deception. One strong parallel is found in Deuteronomy 11:16, which says: “Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them.” This verse warns against being led astray by false teachings or influences. Another relevant passage is Leviticus 19:11, which commands: “Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.” This reinforces the idea that deception and falsehood are contrary to God’s will. Additionally, Exodus 23:1 states: “Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.” This aligns with the idea of avoiding deceitful words that lead people into wrongdoing. The broader theme in the Torah is that truth and integrity are essential, and deception leads to spiritual and moral downfall—just as Ephesians 5:6 warns that God’s wrath comes upon those who are deceived by vain words. This is how Paul and the NT text taught Torah, the Torah has not passed away!
