Deuteronomy 25:8-18 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

8. Then the elders of his town shall summon him and speak to him, and if he persists and says, ‘I do not desire to marry her’

9. then his sister-in-law shall go near him before the eyes of the elders, and she shall pull off his sandal from his foot, and she shall spit in his face, and she shall declare and she shall say, ‘This is how it is done to the man who does not build the house of his brother.’

10. And his family shall be called in Israel, ‘The house where the sandal was pulled off.’

11. “If a man and his brother fight each other and the wife of the one man comes near to rescue her husband from the hand of his attacker and she stretches out her hand and she seizes his genitals,

12. then you shall cut off her hand; your eye shall not take pity.

13. “There shall not be for your use in your bag two kinds of stone weights, a large one and a small one.

14. There shall not be in your house for your use two kinds of measures.

15. Rather a full and honest weight shall be for your use; there shall be for you a full and honest measure, so that your days on the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you may be long.

16. For detestable to Yahweh your God is everyone who is doing such things, everyone who is acting dishonestly.

17. “Remember what Amalek did to you on the journey when you went out from Egypt,

18. that he met you on the journey and attacked you, all those lagging behind you and when you were weary and worn out, and he did not fear God.
