Deuteronomy 25

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 "If there be a controversy between men and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them, then they shall justify the righteous and condemn the wicked.

2 And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number.

3 Forty stripes he may give him, and no more, lest, if he should exceed and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee.

4 "Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn.

5 "If brethren dwell together, and one of them die and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry outside unto a stranger; her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him for a wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother unto her.

6 And it shall be that the firstborn whom she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel.

7 And if the man like not to take his brother's wife, then let his brother's wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, `My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel. He will not perform the duty of my husband's brother.'

8 Then the elders of his city shall call him and speak unto him; and if he stand by it and say, `I like not to take her,'

9 then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, `So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's house.'

10 And his name shall be called in Israel, `The house of him that hath his shoe loosed.'

11 "When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand and taketh him by the secret parts,

12 then thou shalt cut off her hand; thine eye shall not pity her.

13 "Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.

14 Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.

15 But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have, that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

16 For all who do such things and all who do unrighteously are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.

17 "Remember what Amalek did unto thee on the way, when ye had come forth out of Egypt,

18 how he met thee on the way and smote the hindmost of thee, even all who were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God.

19 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget it.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 This is what you must do whenever [two] people have a disagreement that is brought into court. The judges will hear the case and decide who's right and who's wrong.

2 If the person who's in the wrong deserves to be beaten, the judge will order him to lie down. Then the judge will have him beaten with as many lashes as the crime deserves.

3 Forty lashes may be given, but no more. If an Israelite were given more than that, he would be publicly humiliated.

4 Never muzzle an ox when it's threshing grain.

5 When brothers live together and one of them dies without having a son, his widow must not marry outside the family. Her husband's brother must marry her and sleep with her. He must do his duty as her brother-in-law.

6 Then the first son she has will carry the dead brother's name so that his name won't die out in Israel.

7 But if the man doesn't want to marry his brother's widow, she must go to the leaders of the city at the city gate. She must say, "My brother-in-law refuses to let his brother's name continue in Israel. He doesn't want to do his duty as my brother-in-law."

8 Then the leaders of the city must summon him and talk to him. If he persists in saying that he doesn't want to marry her,

9 his brother's widow must go up to him in the presence of the leaders. She must take off one of his sandals and spit in his face. She must make this formal statement: "This is what happens to a man who refuses to continue his brother's family line."

10 Then in Israel his family will be called the Family of the Man Without a Sandal.

11 This is what you must do when two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from the man who is beating him. If she tries to stop the fight by grabbing the other man's genitals,

12 cut off her hand. Have no pity on her.

13 Never carry two sets of weights, a heavier one and a lighter one.

14 Never have two kinds of measures in your house, a larger one and a smaller one.

15 Use accurate and honest weights and measures. Then you will live for a long time in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

16 Everyone who uses dishonest weights and measures is disgusting to the LORD.

17 Remember what the Amalekites did to you on your trip from Egypt.

18 They attacked you when you were tired and exhausted and killed all those who were lagging behind. They weren't afraid of God.

19 So when the LORD your God gives you peace from all your enemies around you in the land that he is giving you as your own property, don't forget to erase every memory of the Amalekites from the earth.
