<07126> (8804)

for to deliver
<05337> (8687)

her husband
<0376>

out of the hand
<03027>

of him that smiteth
<05221> (8688)

him, and putteth forth
<07971> (8804)

her hand
<03027>_,

and taketh
<02388> (8689)

him by the secrets
<04016>_:

25:12

Then thou shalt cut off
<07112> (8804)

her hand
<03709>_,

thine eye
<05869>

shall not pity
<02347> (8799)

[her].

Thou shalt not have in thy bag
<03599>

divers weights
<068> <068>_,

a great

Thou shalt not have in thine house
<01004>

divers measures
<0374> <0374>_,

and just
<06664>

weight
<068>_,

a perfect
<08003>

and just
<06664>

measure
<0374>

shalt thou have: that thy days
<03117>

may be lengthened
<0748> (8686)

in the land
<0127>

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8802)

thee.

25:16

For all that do
<06213> (8802)

such things
<0428>_,

[and] all that do
<06213> (8802)

unrighteously
<05766>_,

[are] an abomination
<08441>

unto the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_.

25:17

Remember
<02142> (8800)

what Amalek
<06002>

did
<06213> (8804)

unto thee by the way
<01870>_,

when ye were come forth
<03318> (8800)

out of Egypt
<04714>_;

<07136> (8804)

thee by the way
<01870>_,

and smote the hindmost
<02179> (8762)

of thee, [even] all [that were] feeble
<02826> (8737)

behind
<0310>

thee, when thou [wast] faint
<05889>

and weary
<03023>_;

and he feared
<03373>

not God
<0430>_.

25:19

Therefore it shall be, when the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

hath given thee rest
<05117> (8687)

from all thine enemies
<0341> (8802)

round about
<05439>_,

in the land
<0776>

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8802)

thee [for] an inheritance
<05159>

to possess
<03423> (8800)

it, [that] thou shalt blot out
<04229> (8799)

the remembrance
<02143>

of Amalek
<06002>

from under heaven
<08064>_;

thou shalt not forget
<07911> (8799)

[it].
