Chapter 25

¹“If there is a dispute between men and they come into court and the judges decide their case, and they acquit the innocent and condemn the guilty, ²then if the guilty man deserves to be beaten, the judge shall cause him to lie down and be beaten in his presence with a fixed number of blows, according to his guilt. ³Forty blows he may give him, but not more, lest if he give him more than these many blows, your brother be degraded in your sight. ⁴“You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain. ⁵“If brothers dwell together, and one of them dies and has no son, the wife of the dead man shall not be married outside the family to a stranger. Her husband’s brother shall go in to her and take her as his wife and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her. ⁶And the firstborn son whom she bears shall succeed to the name of his dead brother, that his name may not be blotted out of Israel. ⁷But if the man does not want to take his brother’s wife, then his brother’s wife shall go up to the gate to the elders and say, ‘My husband’s brother refuses to perpetuate his brother’s name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband’s brother to me.’ ⁸Then the elders of his city shall call him and speak to him, and if he persists, saying, ‘I do not want to take her,’ ⁹then his brother’s wife shall come near him in the presence of the elders and pull his sandal off his foot and spit in his face. And she shall declare, ‘So shall it be done to the man who does not build up his brother’s house.’ ¹⁰And the name of his house shall be called in Israel, ‘The house of him who had his sandal pulled off.’ ¹¹“If two men are fighting with each other and the wife of the one draws near to rescue her husband from the hand of him who is beating him, and puts out her hand and seizes him by his private parts, ¹²then you shall cut off her hand. Your eye shall have no pity. ¹³“You shall not have in your bag two kinds of weights, a large and a small. ¹⁴You shall not have in your house two kinds of measures, a large and a small. ¹⁵A full and just weight you shall have, a full and just measure you shall have, that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you. ¹⁶For all who do such things, all who act dishonestly, are an abomination to the LORD your God. ¹⁷“Remember what Amalek did to you on the way as you came out of Egypt, ¹⁸how he met you on the way and attacked all your stragglers, those who were exhausted behind you, when you were faint and weary; and he did not fear God. ¹⁹Therefore when the LORD your God has given you rest from all your enemies around you, in the land that the LORD your God is giving you for an inheritance to possess, you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven; you shall not forget.
