25:1 If there be a controversy 7379 between men 582, and they come 5066 8738 unto judgment 4941, that [the judges] may judge 8199 8804 them; then they shall justify 6663 8689 the righteous 6662, and condemn 7561 8689 the wicked 7563.

25:2 And it shall be, if the wicked man 7563 [be] worthy 1121 to be beaten 5221 8687, that the judge 8199 8802 shall cause him to lie down 5307 8689, and to be beaten 5221 8689 before his face 6440, according 1767 to his fault 7564, by a certain number 4557.

25:3 Forty 705 stripes 5221 8686 he may give him, [and] not exceed 3254 8686: lest, [if] he should exceed 3254 8686, and beat 5221 8687 him above these with many 7227 stripes 4347, then thy brother 251 should seem vile 7034 8738 5869 unto thee.

25:4 Thou shalt not muzzle 2629 8799 the ox 7794 when he treadeth out 1778 8800 [the corn].(treadeth…: Heb. thresheth)

25:5 If brethren 251 dwell 3427 8799 together 3162, and one 259 of them die 4191 8804, and have no child 1121, the wife 802 of the dead 4191 8801 shall not marry without 2351 unto a stranger 376 2114 8801: her husband's brother 2993 shall go in 935 8799 unto her, and take 3947 8804 her to him to wife 802, and perform the duty of an husband's brother 2992 8762 unto her.(her husband's…: or, her next kinsman)

25:6 And it shall be, [that] the firstborn 1060 which she beareth 3205 8799 shall succeed 6965 8799 in the name 8034 of his brother 251 [which is] dead 4191 8801, that his name 8034 be not put out 4229 8735 of Israel 3478.

25:7 And if the man 376 like 2654 8799 not to take 3947 8800 his brother's wife 2994, then let his brother's wife 2994 go up 5927 8804 to the gate 8179 unto the elders 2205, and say 559 8804, My husband's brother 2993 refuseth 3985 8765 to raise up 6965 8687 unto his brother 251 a name 8034 in Israel 3478, he will 14 8804 not perform the duty of my husband's brother 2992 8763.(brother's: or, next kinsman's)

25:8 Then the elders 2205 of his city 5892 shall call 7121 8804 him, and speak 1696 8765 unto him: and [if] he stand 5975 8804 [to it], and say 559 8804, I like 2654 8804 not to take 3947 8800 her;

25:9 Then shall his brother's wife 2994 come 5066 8738 unto him in the presence 5869 of the elders 2205, and loose 2502 8804 his shoe 5275 from off his foot 7272, and spit 3417 8804 in his face 6440, and shall answer 6030 8804 and say 559 8804, So shall it be done 6213 8735 unto that man 376 that will not build up 1129 8799 his brother's 251 house 1004.

25:10 And his name 8034 shall be called 7121 8738 in Israel 3478, The house 1004 of him that hath his shoe 5275 loosed 2502 8803.

25:11 When men 582 strive 5327 8735 together 3162 one with another 251 376, and the wife 802 of the one 259 draweth near 7126 8804 for to deliver 5337 8687 her husband 376 out of the hand 3027 of him that smiteth 5221 8688 him, and putteth forth 7971 8804 her hand 3027, and taketh 2388 8689 him by the secrets 4016:

25:12 Then thou shalt cut off 7112 8804 her hand 3709, thine eye 5869 shall not pity 2347 8799 [her].

25:13 Thou shalt not have in thy bag 3599 divers weights 68 68, a great 1419 and a small 6996.(divers…: Heb. a stone and a stone)

25:14 Thou shalt not have in thine house 1004 divers measures 374 374, a great 1419 and a small 6996.(divers…: Heb. an ephah and an ephah)

25:15 [But] thou shalt have a perfect 8003 and just 6664 weight 68, a perfect 8003 and just 6664 measure 374 shalt thou have: that thy days 3117 may be lengthened 748 8686 in the land 127 which the LORD 3068 thy God 430 giveth 5414 8802 thee.

25:16 For all that do 6213 8802 such things 428, [and] all that do 6213 8802 unrighteously 5766, [are] an abomination 8441 unto the LORD 3068 thy God 430.

25:17 Remember 2142 8800 what Amalek 6002 did 6213 8804 unto thee by the way 1870, when ye were come forth 3318 8800 out of Egypt 4714;

25:18 How he met 7136 8804 thee by the way 1870, and smote the hindmost 2179 8762 of thee, [even] all [that were] feeble 2826 8737 behind 310 thee, when thou [wast] faint 5889 and weary 3023; and he feared 3373 not God 430.

25:19 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD 3068 thy God 430 hath given thee rest 5117 8687 from all thine enemies 341 8802 round about 5439, in the land 776 which the LORD 3068 thy God 430 giveth 5414 8802 thee [for] an inheritance 5159 to possess 3423 8800 it, [that] thou shalt blot out 4229 8799 the remembrance 2143 of Amalek 6002 from under heaven 8064; thou shalt not forget 7911 8799 [it].
