25When men have a legal dispute, let them go to court; the judges will decide between them, declaring one innocent and the other guilty.H7379H582H5066H4941H8199H6663H6662H7561H7563 2If the guilty one deserves punishment, the judge will have him prostrate himself before him and lashed as many times as his crime deserves,H7563H1121H5221H8199H5307H5221H6440H1767H7564H4557 3but not more than forty. If you hit him more than forty times, you will degrade him to something less than human.H705H5221H3254H3254H5221H7227H4347H251H7034H5869 4Don't muzzle an ox while it is threshing.H2629H7794H1778 5When brothers are living together and one of them dies without having had a son, the widow of the dead brother shall not marry a stranger from outside the family; her husband's brother is to come to her and marry her and do the brother-in-law's duty by her.H251H3427H3162H259H4191H1121H802H4191H2351H376H2114H2993H935H3947H802H2992 6The first son that she bears shall be named after her dead husband so his name won't die out in Israel.H1060H3205H6965H8034H251H4191H8034H4229H3478 7But if the brother doesn't want to marry his sister-in-law, she is to go to the leaders at the city gate and say, "My brother-in-law refuses to keep his brother's name alive in Israel; he won't agree to do the brother-in-law's duty by me."H376H2654H3947H2994H2994H5927H8179H2205H559H2993H3985H6965H251H8034H3478H14H2992 8Then the leaders will call for the brother and confront him. If he stands there defiant and says, "I don't want her,"H2205H5892H7121H1696H5975H559H2654H3947 9his sister-in-law is to pull his sandal off his foot, spit in his face, and say, "This is what happens to the man who refuses to build up the family of his brother—H2994H5066H5869H2205H2502H5275H7272H3417H6440H6030H559H6213H376H1129H251H1004 10his name in Israel will be Family-No-Sandal."H8034H7121H3478H1004H5275H2502 11When two men are in a fight and the wife of the one man, trying to rescue her husband, grabs the genitals of the man hitting him,H582H5327H3162H251H376H802H259H7126H5337H376H3027H5221H7971H3027H2388H4016 12you are to cut off her hand. Show no pity.H7112H3709H5869H2347 13Don't carry around with you two weights, one heavy and the other light,H3599H68H68H1419H6996 14and don't keep two measures at hand, one large and the other small.H1004H374H374H1419H6996 15Use only one weight, a true and honest weight, and one measure, a true and honest measure, so that you will live a long time on the land that GOD, your God, is giving you.H8003H6664H68H8003H6664H374H3117H748H127H3068H430H5414 16Dishonest weights and measures are an abomination to GOD, your God—all this corruption in business deals!H6213H428H6213H5766H8441H3068H430 17Don't forget what Amalek did to you on the road after you left Egypt,H2142H6002H6213H1870H3318H4714 18how he attacked you when you were tired, barely able to put one foot in front of another, mercilessly cut off your stragglers, and had no regard for God.H7136H1870H2179H2826H310H5889H3023H3373H430 19When GOD, your God, gives you rest from all the enemies that surround you in the inheritance-land GOD, your God, is giving you to possess, you are to wipe the name of Amalek from off the Earth. Don't forget!H3068H430H5117H341H5439H776H3068H430H5414H5159H3423H4229H2143H6002H8064H7911
