Shammai pushed him away with the builder's measure he had in his hand. The man came before Hillel. He converted him He said to him: What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is all the Torah. The rest is commentary-go and study, Compare to "In everything do to others as you would have them do to you; for this is the law and the prophets." Mt. 7:21 NRSV
