< Deuteronomy 25 >

1 If it will happen a dispute between people and they will draw near to the place of judgment and they will judge them and they will declare righteous the righteous [one] and they will condemn as guilty the guilty [one].
If there is a dispute between men and they go to court, and the judges judge them, then they will acquit the righteous and condemn the wicked.
2 And it will be if [is] a son of striking the guilty [one] and he will make lie down him the judge and someone will strike him before him according to [the] sufficiency of wickedness his by number.
If the guilty man deserves to be beaten, then the judge will make him lie down and be beaten in his presence with the ordered number of blows, as was his crime.
3 Forty [times] he will strike him not he will increase lest he should increase to strike him to these striking much and he will be dishonored countryman your to eyes your.
The judge may give him forty blows, but he may not exceed that number; for if he should exceed that number and beat him with many more blows, then your fellow Israelite would be humiliated before your eyes.
4 Not you will muzzle an ox when threshes it.
You must not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
5 If they will dwell brothers together and he will die one from them and a son not [belongs] to him not she will belong [the] wife of the dead [man] the outside towards to a man strange husband's brother her he will go on her and he will take her for himself to a wife and he will act as a husband's brother for her.
If brothers live together and one of them dies, not having any son, then the wife of the dead man must not be married off to someone else outside the family. Instead, her husband's brother must sleep with her and take her to himself as a wife, and do the duty of a husband's brother to her.
6 And it will be the firstborn whom she will bear he will stand on [the] name of brother his dead and not it will be wiped out name his from Israel.
This is so that the firstborn that she bears will succeed in the name of that man's dead brother, so that his name will not perish from Israel.
7 And if not he will desire the man to take brother's wife his and she will go up brother's wife his the gate towards to the elders and she will say he has refused husband's brother my to establish for brother his a name in Israel not he was willing to act as a husband's brother for me.
But if the man does not wish to take his brother's wife for himself, then his brother's wife must go up to the gate to the elders and say, 'My husband's brother refuses to raise up for his brother a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband's brother to me.'
8 And they will summon him [the] elders of city his and they will speak to him and he will stand firm and he will say not I desire to take her.
Then the elders of his city must call him and speak to him. But suppose that he insists and says, 'I do not wish to take her.'
9 And she will draw near brother's wife his to him to [the] eyes of the elders and she will draw off sandal his from on foot his and she will spit in face his and she will answer and she will say thus let it be done to the man who not he will build [the] house of (brother his *L(abh)*)
Then his brother's wife must come up to him in the presence of the elders, take off his sandal from his foot, and spit in his face. She must answer him and say, 'This is what is done to the man who does not build up his brother's house.'
10 and it will be called name its in Israel [the] house of [the] [one] drawn off of the sandal.
His name will be called in Israel, 'The house of him whose sandal has been taken off.'
11 If they will be struggling together men together anyone and countryman his and she will draw near [the] wife of the one [man] to rescue (husband her *LAB(h)*) from [the] hand of [the] [one who] is striking him and she will stretch out hand her and she will take hold on genitals his.
If men fight with each other, and the wife of one comes to rescue her husband out of the hand of him who struck him, and if she stretches out her hand and takes him by the private parts,
12 And you will cut off hand her not it will look with pity eye your.
then you must cut off her hand; your eye must have no pity.
13 Not it will belong to you in bag your a weight and a weight large and small.
You must not have in your bag different weights, a large and a small.
14 Not it will belong to you in house your a measure and a measure large and small.
You must not have in your house different measures, a large and a small.
15 A weight full and righteousness it will belong to you a measure full and righteousness it will belong to you so that they may be long days your on the land which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you.
A perfect and just weight you must have; a perfect and just measure you must have, so that your days may be long in the land that Yahweh your God is giving you.
16 For [is] [the] abomination of Yahweh God your every [one who] does these [things] every [one who] does injustice.
For all who do such things, all that act unrighteously, are an abomination to Yahweh your God.
17 Remember [that] which it did to you Amalek on the way when came out you from Egypt.
Call to mind what Amalek did to you on the road as you came out of Egypt,
18 That it met you on the way and it attacked in [the] rear you all the stragglers behind you and you [were] exhausted and weary and not it feared God.
how he met you on the road and attacked those of you at the rear, all who were feeble in your rear, when you were faint and weary; he did not honor God.
19 And it will be when gives rest Yahweh God your - to you from all enemies your from round about in the land which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you an inheritance to take possession of it you will wipe out [the] remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens not you will forget.
Therefore, when Yahweh your God has given you rest from all your enemies round about, in the land that Yahweh your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance, you must not forget that you must blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
