The following things are not governed by [the law of] fraud: Slaves, deeds, land, and consecrated articles. [The rule of] two-fold payment does not [apply] to them, nor [that of] the fourfold and fivefold payment. An unpaid shomer need not take an oath, nor need a paid shomer pay.  R’ Shimon says: Consecrated articles for which one is responsible are governed by [the law of] fraud; but those for which he is not responsible are not governed by [the law of] fraud. R’ Yehudah says: Also one who sells a Torah scroll, an animal, or a pearl is not governed by [the law of] fraud. They said to him: They stated only these.

Just as there is wronging in buying and selling, so is there wronging with words. One shall not say to another: “How much does this article cost?” if he does not wish to purchase [it]. If he was a penitent, he shall not say to him: “Remember your former deeds!” If he was the son of proselytes, he shall not say to him: “Remember your ancestors’ deeds!” for it is said (Exodus 22:20): You shall neither wrong a proselyte nor oppress him.
