While the phrase <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cthings of peace\u201d<\/em><\/span> isn\u2019t used verbatim in the Torah, the concept is deeply embedded in its ethical, communal, and covenantal teachings. &#8211; <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Shalom as a Divine Idea<\/span>l &#8211; Numbers 6:24\u201326 The Priestly Blessing ends with <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cMay the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.\u201d<\/em><\/span> Peace (shalom) is not just absence of conflict, its wholeness, divine favor, and communal harmony. Leviticus 26:6 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cI will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid.\u201d<\/em><\/span> Peace is a covenantal reward for obedience and justice. &#8211; <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Avoiding Strife and Promoting Unity<\/span> &#8211; Genesis 13:8\u20139 Abraham says to Lot, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cLet there be no strife between you and me\u2026 for we are brethren.\u201d<\/em><\/span> He voluntarily gives Lot first choice of land to preserve peace. Exodus 2:13 Moses intervenes when two Hebrews are fighting, asking,<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em> \u201cWhy do you strike your fellow?\u201d<\/em><\/span> a call to resolve internal conflict. &#8211; <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Justice as the Path to Peace<\/span> &#8211; Deuteronomy 16:20 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cJustice, justice shall you pursue.\u201d<\/em><\/span> Peace in Torah is never divorced from righteousness; pursuing justice is the foundation for communal peace. Exodus 23:4\u20135 Returning a lost animal or helping an enemy\u2019s burdened donkey are acts of compassion that build peace even with adversaries. &#8211; <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Peace as a Leadership Ethic<\/span> &#8211; Deuteronomy 20:10 Before attacking a city, Israel must offer terms of peace. Even in warfare, peace is the preferred first move. Genesis 26:29\u201331 Isaac and Abimelech make a covenant of peace after conflict over wells, ending with a feast and mutual blessing. Paul\u2019s exhortation to <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cfollow after the things which make for peace\u201d<\/em><\/span> aligns with Torah\u2019s repeated emphasis on choosing peace over pride, unity over division, and justice over vengeance. In both traditions, peace is not passive, it\u2019s something to be actively pursued, even at personal cost.
