Deuteronomy 25:10-19

10 Then that man's family shall be known in Israel as the Family of the Unsandaled.

11 If two men are fighting and one man's wife comes to save her husband from his attacker, grabbing the attacker by his sex organs,

12 you must cut off her hand. Show her no mercy.

13 Don't carry two sets of weights with you, one heavy and one light.

14 Don't have two different sets of measures in your house, one large and one small.

15 You must have true and honest weights and measures so that you will live a long time in the land the Lord your God is giving you.

16 The Lord your God hates anyone who is dishonest and uses dishonest measures.

17 Remember what the Amalekites did to you when you came out of Egypt.

18 When you were tired and worn out, they met you on the road and attacked all those lagging behind. They were not afraid of God.

19 When the Lord your God gives you rest from all the enemies around you in the land he is giving you as your own, you shall destroy any memory of the Amalekites on the earth. Do not forget!
