Deuteronomy 25 - Revised Standard Version Old Tradition 1952(RSV-C)

1“If there is a dispute between men, and they come into court, and the judges decide between them, acquitting the innocent and condemning the guilty,

2then if the guilty man deserves to be beaten, the judge shall cause him to lie down and be beaten in his presence with a number of stripes in proportion to his offense.

3Forty stripes may be given him, but not more; lest, if one should go on to beat him with more stripes than these, your brother be degraded in your sight.

4 shall be called in Israel, The house of him that had his sandal pulled off.

11“When men fight with one another, and the wife of the one draws near to rescue her husband from the hand of him who is beating him, and puts out her hand and seizes him by the private parts,

12then you shall cut off her hand; your eye shall have no pity.

13 Lev 19.35,36. “You shall not have in your bag two kinds of weights, a large and a small.

14You shall not have in your house two kinds of measures, a large and a small.

15A full and just weight you shall have, a full and just measure you shall have; that your days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God gives you.

16For all who do such things, all who act dishonestly, are an abomination to the Lord your God.

17 Ex 17.14; 1 Sam 15. “Remember what Amalek did to you on the way as you came out of Egypt,

18how he attacked you on the way, when you were faint and weary, and cut off at your rear all who lagged behind you; and he did not fear God.

19Therefore when the Lord your God has given you rest from all your enemies round about, in the land which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance to possess, you shall blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; you shall not forget.
