## Sifrei Devarim Paragraph 295

###### Sifrei Devarim 295:1
[Sifrei Devarim 295:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/295:1)

**לְמַעַן יַאֲרִיכוּן יָמֶיךָ**, זוֹ אַחַת מִמִּצְוֹת שֶׁבַּתּוֹרָה שֶׁמַּתַּן שְׂכָרָהּ בְּצִדָּהּ. וַהֲלֹא דְּבָרִים קַל וָחֹמֶר: וּמַה גְּרוֹגֶרֶת שֶׁאֵינָהּ אֶלָּא אֶחָד מִמֵּאָה בְּאִסָּר, נָתְנָה תּוֹרָה אֲרִיכוּת יָמִים עָלֶיהָ, שְׁאָר מִצְוֹת שֶׁיֵּשׁ בָּהֶן חֶסְרוֹן כִּיס עַל אַחַת כַּמָּה וְכַמָּה.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
(Devarim 21:15) "so that your days be prolonged": This is one of all the mitzvoth of the Torah, whose reward is "at its side." Now does this not follow *a fortiori*, viz.: If (honesty in the weighing of) a dried fig, a hundred of which can easily be bought for an Italian *issar*, is rewarded by length of days, then other mitzvoth, which entail far greater cost, how much more so!


###### Sifrei Devarim 295:2
[Sifrei Devarim 295:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/295:2)

(דברים כה טז) **כִּי תוֹעֲבַת ה׳ אֱלֹהֶיךָ כָּל עֹשֵׂה אֵלֶּה**, יָכוֹל לֹא יְהֵא חַיָּב עַד שֶׁיַּעֲבֹר עַל כֻּלָּם? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **כָּל עֹשֵׂה אֵלֶּה** אֲפִלּוּ אַחַת מֵהֶם.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
(*Ibid*. 16) "For the abomination of the L-rd your G-d, etc." I might think that he is not liable until he transgresses all of them; it is, therefore, written "all who do *these*," (connoting) even one of them.


###### Sifrei Devarim 295:3
[Sifrei Devarim 295:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/295:3)

[**כֹּל עֹשֵׂה עָוֶל**], מִכָּן אָמְרוּ: אֵין מְעָרְבִין פֵּרוֹת בְּפֵרוֹת וַאֲפִלּוּ חֲדָשִׁים בִּישָׁנִים, וַאֲפִלּוּ סְאָה בְּדִינָר וּסְאָה יָפָה דִּינָר וּטְרִיסִית לֹא יְעָרְבֵם וְיִמְכְּרֵם סְאָה בְּדִינָר.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"all who do wrong": From here they ruled: Fruits should not be intermixed, not even new ones with old ones, not even (to be sold) a *sa'ah* for a dinar when they are worth a dinar and a *treisith*. He should not intermix them and sell them a *sa'ah* for a dinar.

[Sifrei Devarim 295:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/295:4)

**כֹּל עֹשֵׂה עָוֶל**, קָרוּי חֲמִשָּׁה שֵׁמוֹת: חֵרֶם, תּוֹעֵבָה, מְשֻׁקָּץ, שָׂנוּי, עַוָּל.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"all who do wrong": It goes by five appellations: "wrong," "hated," "abhorrent," "banned," "abomination."
