1 “When there is a strife between men, and they have come near to the judgment, and they have judged, and declared righteous the righteous, and declared wrong the wrongdoer, 2 then it will come to pass, if the wrongdoer is to be struck, that the judge will caused him to fall down, and one will strike him in his presence, according to the sufficiency of his wrongdoing, by number. 3 He will strike him 40 times. He will not continue, lest he will be continuing to strike him above these many stripes, and your brother will be lightly esteemed in your eyes. 4 You will not muzzle an ox in its threshing. 5 When brothers stay together, and one of them has died and has no son, the wife of the dead will not be given to a strange man. Her husband’s brother will go in to her, and take her to him for a wife, and will perform the duty of her husband’s brother. 6 And it will be, the firstborn which she gives birth to will rise for the name of his dead brother, and his name will not be wiped away out of Israel. 7 And if the man does not delight to take his brother’s wife, then his brother’s wife will go up to the gate, to the elderly, and say, My husband’s brother is refusing to raise up a name for his brother in Israel. He is not willing to perform the duty of my husband’s brother. 8 And the elderly of his city will call for him, and speak to him, and he will stand and say, I have no desire to take her. 9 Then his brother’s wife will draw near to him before the eyes of the elderly, and draw his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and answer and say, Thus it will be done to the man who does not build up the house of his brother. 10 And his name will be called in Israel, The house of him whose shoe was drawn off. 11 When men strive together with one another, and the wife of one has drawn near to deliver her husband out of the hand of his striker, and has put out her hand, and laid hold on his private parts, 12 then you will cut off her hand. Your eye will not spare. 13 You will not have both a great stone and a small stone in your bag. 14 You will not have a great ephah and a small ephah in your house. 15 You will have a complete and just stone, and you will have a complete and just ephah, so that they prolong your days on the ground which your God YHWH has given to you. 16 For anyone doing these things, anyone doing iniquity, will be an abomination to your God YHWH. 17 Remember that which Amalek did to you in the way in your going out from Egypt, 18 that he met you in the way, and struck among you all those feeble behind you (when you were weary and fatigued), and was not fearing God. 19 And it will be, in your God YHWH giving rest to you from all your surrounding enemies, in the land which your God YHWH has given to you for an inheritance to possess it, you will blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens—you will not forget.”
