The Torah doesn\u2019t use that exact phrase, but it repeatedly prohibits lashon hara (evil speech), slander, false witness, and destructive words.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; Torah Parallels to \u201cPut Away Evil Speaking\u201d &#8211;<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Exodus 23:1 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cYou shall not spread a false report. Do not join hands with a wicked man to be a malicious witness.\u201d<\/em><\/span> The Prohibition of false reports and malicious testimony is a Direct parallel to forbidding evil speaking.<\/li>\n<li>Leviticus 19:16 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cYou shall not go up and down as a talebearer among your people.\u201d<\/em> <\/span>The Torah explicitly forbids evil speech (gossip and slander).<\/li>\n<li>Deuteronomy 19:16\u201319 False witness is punished with the penalty intended for the accused. The Torah treats evil speaking as a serious crime.<\/li>\n<li>Numbers 12:1\u201310 Miriam and Aaron speak against Moses; Miriam is struck with leprosy. The narrative warns against speaking evil of others and shows divine judgment against slander.<\/li>\n<li>Deuteronomy 24:8\u20139 Reminder of Miriam\u2019s punishment for slander, this reinforces prohibition against malicious talk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>&#8211; Key Observations &#8211;<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Evil Speaking = Gossip + Slander<\/span>: Torah directly forbids talebearing (Lev. 19:16) and false reports (Ex. 23:1). These are the clearest parallels to Paul\u2019s <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cput away evil speaking.\u201d <\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Judicial Context<\/span>: The Torah treats slander as a crime, especially in court (Deut. 19). False testimony is punished severely. Narrative Example: Miriam\u2019s punishment in Numbers 12 is the most vivid Torah story showing the danger of evil speaking.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Community Integrity<\/span>: Evil speech is seen as destructive to covenantal community, just as Paul warns it corrupts the body of Christ.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Torah frames evil speaking as gossip, slander, and false witness which are destructive acts that undermine justice and community trust. Paul\u2019s exhortation in Ephesians 4:31 echoes this covenantal ethic: malicious speech must be put away, replaced with kindness and truth (Eph. 4:32). This is how Paul taught Torah in the NT, the Torah has not passed away!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bits of Torah Truths &#8211; #Torah Concept in the NT: Put Away Evil Speaking &#8211; Episode 673 Ephesians 4:31 \u05d4\u05b8\u05e1\u05b4\u05d9\u05e8\u05d5\u05bc \u05de\u05b4\u05db\u05b6\u05bc\u05dd \u05db\u05b8\u05bc\u05dc \u05de\u05b0\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9\u05e8\u05d5\u05bc\u05ea \u05d5\u05b0\u05d7\u05b5\u05de\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d5\u05b0\u05db\u05b7\u05e2\u05b7\u05e1 \u05d5\u05bc\u05e6\u05b0\u05e2\u05b8\u05e7\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d2\u05b4\u05d3\u05bc\u05d5\u05bc\u05e3 \u05d5\u05b0\u05db\u05b8\u05dc \u05e8\u05b4\u05e9\u05b0\u05c1\u05e2\u05b8\u05d4. #torah #torahwisdom #torahtruth #torahforlife #torah4you #torahtruth Ephesians 4:31 4:31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24194,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48,34],"tags":[298,321,320,322,288],"class_list":{"0":"post-24193","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bits-of-torah-truths","8":"category-video","9":"tag-communityintegrity","10":"tag-guardyourspeech","11":"tag-lashonharawarning","12":"tag-putawayevilspeaking","13":"tag-torahandephesians"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24193","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24193"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24193\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24195,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24193\/revisions\/24195"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24194"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24193"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24193"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24193"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
