against nation, neither shall they learn war
any more.” (Isaiah 2:4)
This verse from the Torah shows that according to
the Jewish religion, the ideal human society is one
where people destroy their weapons; where war
never takes place; where the building of life is done
on the basis of peace rather than on violence.
This verse from the Torah is thus explained by a Jewish
scholar:
“It is not enough merely to keep in mind the
negative admonition not to kill, but to
transmute human energy and efforts into
peaceful and constructive actions.”
Similarly, there is another verse from the Torah
which is worthy of mention. It describes the blessed
commandments of God:
“The wolf and the lamb shall feed together,
the lion shall eat straw like the ox, and dust
shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not hurt
nor destroy in all my holy mountain,” says
the Lord. (Isaiah, 65:25)
