Deuteronomy 25

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.

If people have a disagreement and go to court for judges to decide, the judges will support the innocent and blame the guilty.

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.

If a bad person deserves punishment, the judge will make them lie down and be hit, based on their wrongdoing, with a specific amount of hits.

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.

He can give up to forty hits, but not more; otherwise, if he goes over the limit and hits him too hard, your brother might seem worthless to you.

Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn.

Do not tie up the ox while it tramples the grain.

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 perform the duty of an husband’s brother unto her.

If brothers live together and one passes away without children, the deceased's wife should not remarry anyone else; instead, the dead brother's brother should marry her and fulfill his responsibilities as a brother-in-law.

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.

The first child born will take the place of the deceased brother, keeping his name alive in Israel.

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.

If a man doesn't want to marry his brother's wife, his brother's wife should go to the elders at the gate and say that her husband's brother won't fulfill his responsibility to continue the family line in Israel.

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;

Then the older people from his town will talk to him, and if he insists, saying, I don't want to marry her.

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.

Then, in front of the leaders, his brother's wife will remove his shoe and spit in his face. She will say, "The same thing will happen to anyone who doesn't support their brother's family."

And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe loosed.

In Israel, he will be known as "The Shoe-Loosener's House."

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:

When two men are fighting, and the other man's wife tries to save her husband from his attacker, she reaches out and grabs her husband's private parts.

Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her.

Then you must cut off her hand; your eye should not feel sorry for her.

Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.

Don't have different sizes of weights in your bag.

Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.

Do not keep different sizes of measuring containers in your home, one large and one small.

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.

But you must use fair and accurate measurements: this will help you have a longer life in the land that the Lord gives you.

For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.

Anyone who does bad things and those who act unfairly are very displeasing to God.

Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of Egypt;

Remember how Amalek attacked you while you were leaving Egypt.

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.

He encountered you on the road and attacked your rear, targeting those who were weakest and tired. He did this without fearing God.

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.

So when the Lord gives you peace from all your enemies in the land He gives you as a home, you must erase the memory of Amalek from everywhere. Don't ever forget to do this.
