Deuteronomy 25:11-19

11 "If men are fighting with each other, and the wife of one comes up to help her husband get away from the man attacking him by grabbing the attacker's private parts with her hand,
12 you are to cut off her hand; show no pity.
13 "You are not to have in your pack two sets of weights, one heavy, the other light.
14 You are not to have in your house two sets of measures, one big, the other small.
15 You are to have a correct and fair weight, and you are to have a correct and fair measure, so that you will prolong your days in the land ADONAI your God is giving you.
16 For all who do such things, all who deal dishonestly, are destestable to ADONAI your God.
17 "Remember what 'Amalek did to you on the road as you were coming out of Egypt,
18 how he met you by the road, attacked those in the rear, those who were exhausted and straggling behind when you were tired and weary. He did not fear God.
19 Therefore, when ADONAI your God has given you rest from all your surrounding enemies in the land ADONAI your God is giving you as your inheritance to possess, you are to blot out all memory of 'Amalek from under heaven. Don't forget!
