Chapter 25
Deut UKJV 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.
Deut UKJV 25:2  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.
Deut UKJV 25:3  Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then your brother should seem vile unto you.
Deut UKJV 25:4  You shall not suppress the ox when he treads out the corn.
Deut UKJV 25:5  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 perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her.
Deut UKJV 25:6  And it shall be, that the firstborn which she bears shall succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel.
Deut UKJV 25:7  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 refuses to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband's brother.
Deut UKJV 25:8  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;
Deut UKJV 25:9  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.
Deut UKJV 25:10  And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that has his shoe loosed.
Deut UKJV 25:11  When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draws near in order to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that strikes him, and puts forth her hand, and takes him by the secrets:
Deut UKJV 25:12  Then you shall cut off her hand, your eye shall not pity her.
Deut UKJV 25:13  You shall not have in your bag divers weights, a great and a small.
Deut UKJV 25:14  You shall not have in your house divers measures, a great and a small.
Deut UKJV 25:15  But you shall have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shall you have: that your days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
Deut UKJV 25:16  For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the LORD your God.
Deut UKJV 25:17  Remember what Amalek did unto you by the way, when all of you were come forth out of Egypt;
Deut UKJV 25:18  How he met you by the way, and stroke the hindmost of you, even all that were feeble behind you, when you were faint and weary; and he feared not God.
Deut UKJV 25:19  Therefore it shall be, when the LORD your God has given you rest from all of your enemies round about, in the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it, that you shall blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; you shall not forget it.
