If there be a controversy between men
, and they come
unto judgment
, that the judges may judge
them; then they shall justify
the righteous
, and condemn
the wicked
.
And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy
to be beaten
, that the judge
shall cause him to lie down
, and to be beaten
before his face
, according
to his fault
, by a certain number
.
Forty stripes
he may give him, and not exceed
: lest, if he should exceed
, and beat
him above these with many
stripes
, then thy brother
should seem vile
unto thee.
Thou shalt not muzzle the ox
when he treadeth out
the corn .
If brethren dwell
together
, and one
of them die
, and have no child
, the wife
of the dead
shall not marry without
unto a stranger
: her husband's brother
shall go in
unto her, and take
her to him to wife
, and perform the duty of an husband's brother
unto her.
And it shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth
shall succeed
in the name
of his brother
which is dead
, that his name
be not put out
of Israel
.
And if the man like
not to take
his brother's wife
, then let his brother's wife
go up
to the gate
unto the elders
, and say
, My husband's brother
refuseth
to raise up
unto his brother
a name
in Israel
, he will
not perform the duty of my husband's brother
.
Then the elders of his city
shall call
him, and speak
unto him: and if he stand
to it , and say
, I like
not to take
her;
Then shall his brother's wife come
unto him in the presence
of the elders
, and loose
his shoe
from off his foot
, and spit
in his face
, and shall answer
and say
, So shall it be done
unto that man
that will not build up
his brother's
house
.
And his name shall be called
in Israel
, The house
of him that hath his shoe
loosed
.
When men strive
together
one with another
, and the wife
of the one
draweth near
for to deliver
her husband
out of the hand
of him that smiteth
him, and putteth forth
her hand
, and taketh
him by the secrets
:
Then thou shalt cut off her hand
, thine eye
shall not pity
her .
Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights
, a great
and a small
.
Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures
, a great
and a small
.
But thou shalt have a perfect and just
weight
, a perfect
and just
measure
shalt thou have: that thy days
may be lengthened
in the land
which the LORD
thy God
giveth
thee.
For all that do such things
, and all that do
unrighteously
, are an abomination
unto the LORD
thy God
.
Remember what Amalek
did
unto thee by the way
, when ye were come forth
out of Egypt
;
How he met thee by the way
, and smote the hindmost
of thee, even all that were feeble
behind
thee, when thou wast faint
and weary
; and he feared
not God
.
Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God
hath given thee rest
from all thine enemies
round about
, in the land
which the LORD
thy God
giveth
thee for an inheritance
to possess
it, that thou shalt blot out
the remembrance
of Amalek
from under heaven
; thou shalt not forget
it .
