25"If there is a dispute between men, they are to go to court, and the judges will hear their case. They will clear the innocent and condemn the guilty.H7379H582H5066H4941H8199H6663H6662H7561H7563 2If the guilty party deserves to be flogged, the judge will make him lie down and be flogged in his presence with the number [of lashes] appropriate for his crime.H7563H1121H5221H8199H5307H5221H6440H1767H7564H4557 3He may be flogged with 40 lashes, but no more. Otherwise, if he is flogged with more lashes than these, your brother will be degraded in your sight.H705H5221H3254H3254H5221H7227H4347H251H7034H5869 4"Do not muzzle an ox while it treads out grain.H2629H7794H1778 5"When brothers live on the same property and one of them dies without a son, the wife of the dead man may not marry a stranger outside [the family]. Her brother-in-law is to take her as his wife, have sexual relations with her, and perform the duty of a brother-in-law for her.H251H3427H3162H259H4191H1121H802H4191H2351H376H2114H2993H935H3947H802H2992 6The first son she bears will carry on the name of the dead brother, so his name will not be blotted out from Israel.H1060H3205H6965H8034H251H4191H8034H4229H3478 7But if the man doesn't want to marry his sister-in-law, she must go to the elders at the [city] gate and say, 'My brother-in-law refuses to preserve his brother's name in Israel. He isn't willing to perform the duty of a brother-in-law for me.'H376H2654H3947H2994H2994H5927H8179H2205H559H2993H3985H6965H251H8034H3478H14H2992 8The elders of his city will summon him and speak with him. If he persists and says, 'I don't want to marry her,'H2205H5892H7121H1696H5975H559H2654H3947 9then his sister-in-law will go up to him in the sight of the elders, remove his sandal from his foot, and spit in his face. Then she will declare, 'This is what is done to a man who will not build up his brother's house.'H2994H5066H5869H2205H2502H5275H7272H3417H6440H6030H559H6213H376H1129H251H1004 10And his [family] name in Israel will be called 'The house of the man whose sandal was removed.'H8034H7121H3478H1004H5275H2502 11"If two men are fighting with each other, and the wife of one steps in to rescue her husband from the one striking him, and she puts out her hand and grabs his genitals,H582H5327H3162H251H376H802H259H7126H5337H376H3027H5221H7971H3027H2388H4016 12you are to cut off her hand. You must not show pity.H7112H3709H5869H2347 13"You must not have two different weights in your bag, one heavy and one light.H3599H68H68H1419H6996 14You must not have two differing dry measures in your house, a larger and a smaller.H1004H374H374H1419H6996 15You must have a full and honest weight, a full and honest dry measure, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.H8003H6664H68H8003H6664H374H3117H748H127H3068H430H5414 16For everyone who does such things and acts unfairly is detestable to the LORD your God.H6213H428H6213H5766H8441H3068H430 17"Remember what the Amalekites did to you on the journey after you left Egypt.H2142H6002H6213H1870H3318H4714 18They met you along the way and attacked all your stragglers from behind when you were tired and weary. They did not fear God.H7136H1870H2179H2826H310H5889H3023H3373H430 19When the LORD your God gives you rest from all the enemies around you in the land the LORD your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance, blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven. Do not forget.H3068H430H5117H341H5439H776H3068H430H5414H5159H3423H4229H2143H6002H8064H7911
