chapter 25
1
If
there be a controversy between men, and they call upon the judges: they shall
give the prize of justice to him whom they perceive to be just: and him whom
they find to be wicked, they shall condemn of wickedness.
2 And if they see that the offender be worthy of
stripes: they shall lay him down, and shall cause him to be beaten before them.
According to the measure of the sin shall the measure also of the stripes be:
3 Yet so, that they exceed not the number of forty:
lest thy brother depart shamefully torn before thy eyes.
4 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out thy
corn on the floor.
5 When brethren dwell together, and one of them dieth
without children, the wife of the deceased shall not marry to another: but his
brother shall take her, and raise up seed for his brother:
6 And the first son he shall have of her he shall call
by his name, that his name be not abolished out of Israel.
7 But if he will not take his brother's wife, who by
law belongeth to him, the woman shall go to the gate of the city, and call upon
the ancients, and say: My husband's brother refuseth to raise up his brother's
name in Israel: and will not take me to wife.
8 And they shall cause him to be sent for forthwith,
and shall ask him. If he answer: I will not take her to wife:
9 The woman shall come to him before the ancients, and
shall take off his shoe from his foot, and spit in his face, and say: So shall
it be done to the man that will not build up his brother's house:
10 And his name shall be called in Israel, the house of
the unshod.
11 If two men have words together, and one begin to
fight against the other, and the other's wife willing to deliver her husband
out of the hand of the stronger, shall put forth her hand, and take him by the
secrets,
12 Thou shalt cut off her hand, neither shalt thou be
moved with any pity in her regard.
13 Thou shalt not have divers weights in thy bag, a
greater and a less:
14 Neither shall there be in thy house a greater bushel
and a less.
15 Thou shalt have a just and a true weight, and thy
bushel shall be equal and true: that thou mayest live a long time upon the land
which the Lord thy God shall give thee.
16 For the Lord thy God abhorreth him that doth these
things, and he hateth all injustice.
17 Remember what Amalec did to thee in the way when
thou camest out of Egypt:
18 How he met thee: and slew the hindmost of the army,
who sat down, being weary, when thou wast spent with hunger and labour, and he
feared not God.
19 Therefore when the Lord thy God shall give thee
rest, and shall have subdued all the nations round about in the land which he
hath promised thee: thou shalt blot out his name from under heaven. See thou
forget it not.
