Deuteronomy 25

1If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked. 2And it shall be, if the wicked man worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number. 3Forty stripes he may give him, not exceed: lest, he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then your brother should seem vile unto you. 4you shall not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out . 5If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her. 6And it shall be, the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother dead, that his name be not put out of Israel. 7And if the man like not to take his brother's wife, then let his brother's wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband's brother. 8Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and he stand , and say, I like not to take her; 9Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's house. 10And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that has his shoe loosed. 11When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: 12Then you shall cut off her hand, your eye shall not pity . 13you shall not have in your bag divers weights, a great and a small. 14you shall not have in your house divers measures, a great and a small. 15you shall have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shall you have: that your days may be lengthened in the land which the Yahuah your Elohim giveth you. 16For all that do such things, all that do unrighteously, an abomination unto the Yahuah your Elohim. 17Remember what Amalek did unto you by the way, when ye were come forth out of Egypt; 18How he met you by the way, and smote the hindmost of you, all feeble behind you, when you faint and weary; and he feared not Elohim. 19Therefore it shall be, when the Yahuah your Elohim has given you rest from all your enemies round about, in the land which the Yahuah your Elohim giveth you an inheritance to possess it, you shall blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; you shall not forget .
