Exegesis
The phrase me’eloheka {מֵאֱלֹהֶיךָ | mê-’ĕ-lō-hê-ḵā} ‘from your God’ provides the theological basis, with the preposition min indicating source. This balanced prohibition and exhortation structure links ethical treatment of others to divine accountability.
In context — Leviticus 25:43
You shall not rule over him with harshness ; rather, you shall fear your God .
