the wrongdoer declared wrong.

shall cause him to lie down and be beaten in his presence with the number of

Deut 25:4 “Do not muzzle an ox while it is threshing.
Deut 25:5 “When brothers dwell together, and one of them has died, and has

perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her.
Deut 25:6 “And it shall be that the first-born son which she bears does rise
up for the name of his dead brother, so that his name is not blotted out of

Deut 25:7 “But if the man does not desire to take his brother’s wife, then let
his brother’s wife go up to the gate to the elders, and say, ‘My husband’s
brother refuses to raise up a name to his brother in Yisra’ĕl, he does not
agree to perform the duty of my husband’s brother.’
Deut 25:8 “The elders of his city shall then call him and speak to him, and
he shall stand and say, ‘I have no desire to take her,’
Deut 25:9 then his brother’s wife shall come to him in the presence of the
elders, and remove his sandal from his foot, and shall spit in his face, and
answer and say, ‘Thus it is done to the man who does not build up his
brother’s house.’
Deut 25:10 “And in Yisra’ĕl his name shall be called, ‘The house of him
who had his sandal removed.’
Deut 25:11 “When men fight with one another, and the wife of one shall
draw near to rescue her husband from the hand of the one attacking him, and
shall put out her hand and seize him by the genitals,

Deut 25:13 “You shall not have in your bag differing weights, a heavy and a
light.
Deut 25:14 “You shall not have in your house differing measures, a large and
a small.

measure, so that they prolong your days on the soil which יהוה your Elohim is
giving you.
Deut 25:16 “For all who do these, and all who do unrighteously, are an
abomination to יהוה your Elohim.
Deut 25:17 “Remember what Amalĕq did to you on the way as you were
coming out of Mitsrayim,
Deut 25:18 how he met you on the way and attacked your back, all the feeble
ones in your rear, when you were tired and weary. And he did not fear
Elohim.
Deut 25:19 “Therefore it shall be, when יהוה your Elohim has given you rest
from your enemies all around, in the land which יהוה your Elohim is giving
you to possess as an inheritance, that you blot out the remembrance of
Amalĕq from under the heavens. Do not forget!
