Parshas Kedoshim discusses many of the mitzvos especially the interpersonal mitzvah. The prohibition of speaking “Lashon Harah”, “Love your neighbor as yourself”, “Not taking revenge”, “Not bearing a grudge”, etc. One of the mitzvos the Torah tells us about is “Betzedek Tishpot Amisecha”. The rabbis understand that to mean that a person should give his friend the benefit of the doubt.
