Deuteronomy 25

If there is a dispute between men and they go to the judgment, and they judge them, then they shall declare the righteous as just and declare the wicked as unjust.

And if the wicked is a son of striking, then the judge shall cause him to lie down and be beaten to his face as {is} enough in number {for} his wickedness. \*

He shall not add to his 40 blows, lest he add his striking of him {with} many {more} blows than these, and your brother is humiliated before your eyes. \*

You shall not muzzle an ox in his threshing. \*

If brothers live together and one of them dies, and he does not have a son, the wife of the dead man shall not be for a strange man from outside. Her brother-in-law shall go in to her and take her for himself as a wife, and {be} her brother-in-law.

And it will happen, the firstborn that she bears will rise up upon the name of his brother who died, and his name will not be wiped out from Israel. \*

But if the man does not delight in taking his brother’s wife, then his brother’s wife shall go up to the gate to the elders and say, ‘My brother-in-law refuses to raise up for his brother a name in Israel; he is not willing {to be} my brother-in-law.’

And the elders of his city shall call him and speak to him. If he stands and says, ‘I do not delight in taking her.’ \*

Then his brother’s wife shall come to him before the eyes of the elders and take off his sandal from his foot and spit in his face. And she shall respond and say, ‘Thus is done to the man who does not build up the house of his brother.’

And his name will be called in Israel, ‘The house of the sandal taken off.’ \*

If men fight with each other, a man and his brother, and the wife of one comes to rescue her husband from the hand of his attacker, and she stretches out her hand and seizes him by his genitals,

then you shall cut off her hand; your eye shall have no pity. \*

You shall not have in your bag a stone and a stone, a large and a small.

You shall not have in your house an ephah and an ephah, a large and a small. \*

A perfect and just stone you shall have; a perfect and just ephah you shall have, so that your days will be long in the land that God your God is giving to you.

For all who do these, all who do injustice {are} an abomination {to} God your God. \*

Remember what Amalek did to you on the road as you came out from Egypt,

how he met you on the road and attacked you from behind, all the stragglers following you, and you {were} faint and weary; and he did not fear God.

And it will happen, when God your God has given to you rest from all your surrounding enemies, in the land that God your God is giving to you to possess {as} an inheritance, you shall wipe out the memory of Amalek from under the heavens; you shall not forget. \*
