Deuteronomy 25

1IfH3588 there be a controversyH7379 betweenH996 menH376, and they comeH1961 unto judgmentH4941, and the judgesH8199 judgeH8199 them; then they shall justifyH6663 the righteousH6662, and condemnH7561 the wickedH7563; 2and it shall be, ifH518 the wickedH7563 manH7563 be worthy to be beatenH5221, that the judgeH8199 shall causeH1961 him to lieH1961 downH5221, and to be beatenH5221 beforeH6440 his faceH6440, accordingH1767 to his wickednessH7564, by numberH4557. 3FortyH705 stripesH4347 he may giveH3254 him, he shall notH3808 exceedH3254: lestH6435, ifH6435 he should exceedH3254, and beatH5221 him aboveH5921 theseH428 with manyH7227 stripesH4347, then thy brotherH251 should seemH5869 vile unto thee. 4Thou shalt notH3808 muzzleH2629 the oxH7794 when he treadeth out the corn. 5IfH3588 brethrenH251 dwellH3427 togetherH3162, and one of them dieH4191, and have noH3808 sonH1121, the wifeH802 of the deadH4191 shall notH3808 marryH3947 withoutH3808 unto a stranger: herH3947 husband’sH2993 brotherH251 shall goH935 in unto herH3947, and takeH3947 herH3947 to him to wifeH802, and performH2992 the dutyH2992 of an husband’sH2993 brotherH251 unto herH3947. 6And it shall be, that the firstbornH1060 whichH834 sheH834 beareth shall succeedH6965 in the nameH8034 of his brotherH251 whichH834 is deadH4191, that his nameH8034 be notH3808 blotted outH5921 of IsraelH3478. 7And ifH518 the manH376 like notH3808 to takeH3947 his brother’sH251 wifeH2994, then his brother’sH251 wifeH2994 shall goH5927 upH5927 to the gateH8179 unto the eldersH2205, and sayH559, My husband’sH2993 brotherH251 refuseth to raiseH6965 upH5927 unto his brotherH251 a nameH8034 in IsraelH3478, he will notH3808 performH2992 the dutyH2992 of an husband’sH2993 brotherH251 unto meH413. 8Then the eldersH2205 of his cityH5892 shall callH7121 him, and speakH1696 unto him: and if he standH5975, and sayH559, I like notH3808 to takeH3947 herH413; 9then shall his brother’sH251 wifeH2994 comeH5066 unto him in the presenceH6440 of the eldersH2205, and looseH5921 his shoeH5275 from offH5921 his footH7272, and spitH3417 in his faceH6440; and sheH834 shall answerH6030 and sayH559, SoH6213 shall it be doneH6213 unto the manH376 that doth notH3808 buildH1129 upH5921 his brother’sH251 houseH1004. 10And his nameH8034 shall be calledH7121 in IsraelH3478, The houseH1004 of him that hath his shoeH5275 loosed. 11When menH376 strive togetherH3162 one with anotherH259, and the wifeH802 of the one draweth nearH7126 for to deliverH5337 herH7971 husbandH376 outH2388 of the handH3027 of him that smiteth him, and putteth forthH7971 herH7971 handH3027, and taketh him by the secrets: 12then thou shalt cutH7112 offH7112 herH7112 handH3709, thine eyeH5869 shall have noH3808 pityH2347. 13Thou shalt notH3808 have in thy bagH3599 divers weightsH68, a greatH1419 and a smallH6996. 14Thou shalt notH3808 have in thine houseH1004 divers measuresH374, a greatH1419 and a smallH6996. 15A perfectH8003 and justH834 weightH68 shalt thou have; a perfectH8003 and justH834 measureH374 shalt thou have: that thy daysH3117 may be longH3117 uponH5921 the landH127 whichH834 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 giveth thee. 16For allH3605 that doH6213 suchH428 things; evenH3588 allH3605 that doH6213 unrighteously, are an abominationH8441 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430. 17RememberH2142 whatH834 AmalekH6002 didH6213 unto thee by the wayH1870 as ye cameH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714; 18howH834 he metH7136 thee by the wayH1870, and smote the hindmost of thee, allH3605 that were feeble behindH310 thee, when thou wast faintH5889 and wearyH5889; and he feared notH3808 GodH430. 19Therefore it shall be, when the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath givenH5414 thee restH5117 from allH3605 thine enemiesH341 roundH5439 aboutH1961, in the landH776 whichH834 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 giveth thee for an inheritanceH5159 to possessH3423 it, that thou shalt blot outH3423 the remembranceH2143 of AmalekH6002 from underH8478 heavenH8064; thou shalt notH3808 forgetH7911.
