Deuteronomy 25:8-19 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

8. Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he stands to it, and says, I desire not to take her;

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.

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

11. When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draws near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smites him, and puts forth her hand, and takes him by his private parts:

12. Then you shall cut off her hand, your eye shall not pity her.

13. You shall not have in your bag differing weights, a great and a small.

14. You shall not have in your house differing measures, a great and a small.

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.

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

17. Remember what Amalek did unto you by the way, when you came forth out of Egypt;

18. How he met you by the way, and attacked those behind you, even all that were feeble behind you, when you were faint and weary; and he feared not God.

19. Therefore it shall be, 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 it, that you shall blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; you shall not forget it.
