Settings

14 You shall not have in your house two kinds of measures, a large and a small.
15 A full and fair[a] weight you shall have, a full and fair measure you shall have, 1that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
16 For 2all who do such things, all who act dishonestly, 3are an abomination to the LORD your God.
17 4"Remember what Amalek did to you 5on the way as you came out of Egypt,
18 how he attacked you on the way when you were faint and weary, and 6cut off your tail, those who were lagging behind you, and he did not fear God.
19 Therefore 7when the LORD your God has given you rest from all your enemies around you, in the land that the LORD your God is giving you for an inheritance to possess, you shall 8blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven; you shall not forget.
