New Testament

Deuteronomy 25:9-16 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

9. his sister-in-law, in the presence of the elders, shall go up to him and strip his sandal from his foot and spit in his face, declaring, “This is how one should be treated who will not build up his brother’s family!”

10. And his name shall be called in Israel, “the house of the man stripped of his sandal.”

11. When two men are fighting and the wife of one intervenes to save her husband from the blows of his opponent, if she stretches out her hand and seizes the latter by his genitals,

12. you shall chop off her hand; show no pity.

13. You shall not keep two differing weights in your bag, one heavy and the other light;

14. nor shall you keep two different ephahs in your house, one large and the other small.

15. But use a full and just weight, a full and just ephah, so that you may have a long life on the land the Lord, your God, is giving you.

16. For everyone who does these things, everyone who does what is dishonest, is an abomination to the Lord, your God.
