Deuteronomy 25:11-19 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

11. “Two men might be fighting against each other. One man’s wife might come to help her husband, but she must not grab the other man’s private parts.

12. If she does that, cut off her hand. Don’t feel sorry for her.

13. “Don’t use weights that are too heavy or too light.

14. Don’t keep measures in your house that are too large or too small.

15. You must use weights and measures that are correct and accurate. Then you will live a long time in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

16. The Lord your God hates people who cheat with false weights and measures. Yes, he hates all people who do wrong.

17. “Remember what the Amalekites did to you when you were coming from Egypt.

18. The Amalekites did not respect God. They attacked you when you were weak and tired. They killed all your people who were slow and walking behind everyone else.

19. That is why you must destroy the memory of the Amalekites from the world. You will do this when you enter the land that the Lord your God is giving you. There he will give you rest from all the enemies around you. But do not forget to destroy the Amalekites!
