25:1

If there be a controversy
<07379>

between men
<0582>_,

and they come
<05066> (8738)

unto judgment
<04941>_,

that [the judges] may judge
<08199> (8804)

them; then they shall justify
<06663> (8689)

the righteous
<06662>_,

and condemn
<07561> (8689)

the wicked
<07563>_.

25:2

And it shall be, if the wicked man
<07563>

[be] worthy
<01121>

to be beaten
<05221> (8687)_,

that the judge
<08199> (8802)

shall cause him to lie down
<05307> (8689)_,

and to be beaten
<05221> (8689)

before his face
<06440>_,

according
<01767>

to his fault
<07564>_,

by a certain number
<04557>_.

25:3

Forty
<0705>

stripes
<05221> (8686)

he may give him, [and] not exceed
<03254> (8686)_:

lest, [if] he should exceed
<03254> (8686)_,

and beat
<05221> (8687)

him above these with many
<07227>

stripes
<04347>_,

then thy brother
<0251>

should seem vile
<07034> (8738) <05869>

unto thee.

25:4

Thou shalt not muzzle
<02629> (8799)

25:5

If brethren
<0251>

dwell
<03427> (8799)

together
<03162>_,

and one
<0259>

of them die
<04191> (8804)_,

and have no child
<01121>_,

the wife
<0802>

of the dead
<04191> (8801)

shall not marry without
<02351>

unto a stranger
<0376> <02114> (8801)_:

her husband's brother
<02993>

shall go in
<0935> (8799)

unto her, and take
<03947> (8804)

her to him to wife
<0802>_,

and perform the duty of an husband's brother
<02992> (8762)

unto her. {her husband's...: or, her next kinsman}

25:6

And it shall be, [that] the firstborn
<01060>

which she beareth
<03205> (8799)

shall succeed
<06965> (8799)

in the name
<08034>

of his brother
<0251>

[which is] dead
<04191> (8801)_,

that his name
<08034>

be not put out
<04229> (8735)

of Israel
<03478>_.

25:7

And if the man
<0376>

like
<02654> (8799)

not to take
<03947> (8800)

his brother's wife
<02994>_,

then let his brother's wife
<02994>

go up
<05927> (8804)

to the gate
<08179>

unto the elders
<02205>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

My husband's brother
<02993>

refuseth
<03985> (8765)

to raise up
<06965> (8687)

unto his brother
<0251>

a name
<08034>

in Israel
<03478>_,

he will
<014> (8804)

not perform the duty of my husband's brother
<02992> (8763)_.

{brother's: or, next kinsman's}

25:8

Then the elders
<02205>

of his city
<05892>

shall call
<07121> (8804)

unto him: and [if] he stand
<05975> (8804)

[to it], and say
<0559> (8804)_,

I like
<02654> (8804)

not to take
<03947> (8800)

her;

25:9

Then shall his brother's wife
<02994>

come
<05066> (8738)

unto him in the presence
<05869>

of the elders
<02205>_,

and loose
<02502> (8804)

his shoe
<05275>

from off his foot
<07272>_,

and spit
<03417> (8804)

in his face
<06440>_,

and shall answer
<06030> (8804)

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

So shall it be done
<06213> (8735)

unto that man
<0376>

that will not build up
<01129> (8799)

his brother's
<0251>

house
<01004>_.

25:10

And his name
<08034>

shall be called
<07121> (8738)

in Israel
<03478>_,

The house
<01004>

of him that hath his shoe
<05275>

loosed
<02502> (8803)_.

25:11

When men
<0582>

strive
<05327> (8735)

together
<03162>

one with another
<0251> <0376>_,

and the wife
<0802>

of the one
<0259>

draweth near
<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].

25:13

Thou shalt not have in thy bag
<03599>

divers weights
<068> <068>_,

a great
<01419>

and a small
<06996>_.

{divers...: Heb. a stone and a stone}

25:14

Thou shalt not have in thine house
<01004>

divers measures
<0374> <0374>_,

a great
<01419>

and a small
<06996>_.

{divers...: Heb. an ephah and an ephah}

25:15

[But] thou shalt have a perfect
<08003>

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>_;

25:18

How he met
<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].
