Deuteronomy 25

25“If there is a ^adispute between men, and they come to ¹court, that the judges may judge them, and they ^bjustify the righteous and condemn the wicked, ²then it shall be, if the wicked man ^cdeserves to be beaten, that the judge will cause him to lie down ^dand be beaten in his presence, according to his guilt, with a certain number of blows. ^3eForty blows he may give him and no more, lest he should exceed this and beat him with many blows above these, and your brother ^fbe humiliated in your sight.

^4g“You shall not muzzle an ox while it ²treads out the grain.

Marriage Duty of the Surviving Brother

^5h“If brothers dwell together, and one of them dies and has no son, the widow of the dead man shall not be married to a stranger outside the family; her husband’s brother shall go in to her, take her as his wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her. ⁶And it shall be that the firstborn son which she bears ⁱwill succeed to the name of his dead brother, that ^jhis name may not be blotted out of Israel. ⁷But if the man does not want to take his brother’s wife, then let his brother’s wife go up to the ^kgate to the elders, and say, ‘My husband’s brother refuses to raise up a name to his brother in Israel; he will not perform the duty of my husband’s brother.’ ⁸Then the elders of his city shall call him and speak to him. But if he stands firm and says, ^l‘I do not want to take her,’ ⁹then his brother’s wife shall come to him in the presence of the elders, ^mremove his sandal from his foot, spit in his face, and answer and say, ‘So shall it be done to the man who will not ⁿbuild up his brother’s house.’ ¹⁰And his name shall be called in Israel, ‘The house of him who had his sandal removed.’

Miscellaneous Laws

¹¹“If two men fight together, and the wife of one draws near to rescue her husband from the hand of the one attacking him, and puts out her hand and seizes him by the genitals, ¹²then you shall cut off her hand; ^oyour eye shall not pity her.

^13p“You shall not have in your bag differing weights, a heavy and a light. ¹⁴You shall not have in your house differing measures, a large and a small. ¹⁵You shall have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure, ^qthat your days may be lengthened in the land which the Lord your God is giving you. ¹⁶For ^rall who do such things, all who behave unrighteously, are ³an abomination to the Lord your God.

Destroy the Amalekites

^17s“Remember what Amalek did to you on the way as you were coming out of Egypt, ¹⁸how he met you on the way and attacked your rear ranks, all the stragglers at your rear, when you were tired and weary; and he ^tdid not fear God. ¹⁹Therefore it shall be, ^uwhen the Lord your God has given you rest from your enemies all around, in the land which the Lord your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance, that you will ^vblot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. You shall not forget.
