Deuteronomy 25

¹And if there should be a dispute between men, and they should come forward to judgment, and [the judges] judge, and justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked:

²then it shall come to pass, if the unrighteous should be worthy of stripes, thou shalt lay him down before the judges, and they shall scourge him before them according to his iniquity.

²then it shall come to pass, if the unrighteous should be worthy of stripes, you shall lay him down before the judges, and they shall scourge him before them according to his iniquity.

³And they shall scourge him with forty stripes in number, they shall not inflict more; for if thou shouldest scourge him [with] more stripes beyond these stripes, thy brother will be disgraced before thee.

³And they shall scourge him with forty stripes in number, they shall not inflict more; for if you should scourge him [with] more stripes beyond these stripes, your brother will be disgraced before you.

⁴Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treads out the corn.

⁴You shall not muzzle the ox that treads out the corn.

⁵And if brethren should live together, and one of them should die, and should not have seed, the wife of the deceased shall not marry out [of the family] to a man not related: her husband's brother shall go in to her, and shall take her to himself for a wife, and shall dwell with her.

⁶And it shall come to pass that the child which she shall bear, shall be named by the name of the deceased, and his name shall not be blotted out of Israel.

⁷And if the man should not be willing to take his brother's wife, then shall the woman go up to the gate to the elders, and she shall say, My husband's brother will not raise up the name of his brother in Israel, my husband's brother has refused.

⁸And the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him; and if he stand and say, I will not take her:

⁹then his brother's wife shall come forward before the elders, and shall loose one shoe from off his foot, and shall spit in his face, and shall answer and say, Thus shall they do to the man who will not build his brother's house in Israel.

¹⁰And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that has had his shoe loosed.

¹¹And if men should strive together, a man with his brother, and the wife of one of them should advance to rescue her husband out of the hand of him that smites him, and she should stretch forth her hand, and take hold of his private parts;

¹²thou shalt cut off her hand; thine eye shall not spare her.

¹²you shall cut off her hand; your eye shall not spare her.

¹³Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.

¹³You shall not have in your bag various weights, a great and a small.

¹⁴Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.

¹⁴You shall not have in your house various measures, a great and a small.

¹⁵Thou shalt have a true and just weight, and a true and just measure, that thou mayest live long upon the land which the Lord thy God gives thee for an inheritance.

¹⁵You shall have a true and just weight, and a true and just measure, that you may live long upon the land which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance.

¹⁶For every one that does this [is] an abomination to the Lord thy God, even every one that does injustice.

¹⁶For every one that does this [is] an abomination to the Lord your God, even every one that does injustice.

¹⁷Remember what things Amalec did to thee by the way, when thou wentest forth out of the land of Egypt:

¹⁷Remember what things Amalec did to you by the way, when you went forth out of the land of Egypt:

¹⁸how he withstood thee in the way, and harassed thy rear, [even] those that were weary behind thee, and thou didst hunger and wast weary; and he did not fear God.

¹⁸how he withstood you in the way, and harassed your rear, [even] those that were weary behind you, and you did hunger and was weary; and he did not fear God.

¹⁹And it shall come to pass whenever the Lord thy God shall have given thee rest from all thine enemies round about thee, in the land which the Lord thy God gives thee to inherit, thou shalt blot out the name of Amalec from under heaven, and shalt not forget [to do it].

¹⁹And it shall come to pass whenever the Lord your God shall have given you rest from all your enemies round about you, in the land which the Lord your God gives you to inherit, you shall blot out the name of Amalec from under heaven, and shall not forget [to do it].
