Chapter 25 |
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 not
exceed: lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with
many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee. |
4 |
1Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth
out the corn.

1st Cor 9:9,
Matt 10:10,
1st Tim 5:18
|
5 | If
brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the
wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her
husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife,
and
1perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her.

Gen 38:8,
Matt 22:24,
Mark 12:19,
Luke 20:28
|
6 | And it
shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the
name of his brother which 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
to 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 for to deliver her
husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth
her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: |
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 that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an
abomination unto the LORD thy God. |
17 |
Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come
forth out of Egypt; |
18 | How
he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, even all
that 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. |
