8 Then let the elders of his citie call vnto him and comen with him. Yf he stonde and saye: I will not take her,
9 then let his systerlawe goo vnto him in the presence of the elders and loose his showe of his fote and spytt in his face and answere and saye. So shall it be done vnto that man that will not bylde his brothers housse.
10 And his name shalbe called in Israel, the vnshoed housse.
11 Yf when men stryue together, one with another, the wife of the one rune to, for to ryd hyr husbonde out of the handes of him that smyteth him and put forth hir hande and take him by the secrettes:
12 cutt of hir hande, and let not thine eye pitie her.
13 Thou shalt not haue in thy bagge two maner weyghtes, a greate and a small:
14 nether shalt thou haue in thine house dyuerse measures, a great ad a small.
15 But thou shalt haue a perfect ad a iust measure: that thy dayes maye be lengthed in the londe whiche the Lorde thy God geueth the,
16 For all that do soche thinges ad all that doo vnright, are abhominacion vnto the Lorde thy God.
17 Remembre what Amalech dyd vnto the by the waye after thou camest out of Egipte,
18 he mett the by the waye and smote the hynmost of you, all that were ouer laboured and dragged by hynde, when thou wast faynted and werye, and he feared not God.
