Deuteronomy 25
1 If it will happen a dispute between people and they will draw near to the place of judgment and they will judge them and they will declare righteous the righteous [one] and they will condemn as guilty the guilty [one].
“If [two] Israelis have a dispute and they go to a court, the judge will [probably] decide/declare that one of them (is innocent/did not do any wrong) and the other one is guilty.
2 And it will be if [is] a son of striking the guilty [one] and he will make lie down him the judge and someone will strike him before him according to [the] sufficiency of wickedness his by number.
If the judge says that the guilty person must be punished, he shall command him to lie [with his face] on the ground and be whipped. The number of times he is struck with a whip will depend on [what kind of] crime he committed.
3 Forty [times] he will strike him not he will increase lest he should increase to strike him to these striking much and he will be dishonored countryman your to eyes your.
It is permitted that he be struck as many as 40 times, but no more than that. If he is struck more than 40 times, he would be humiliated publicly.
4 Not you will muzzle an ox when threshes it.
When your ox is treading/walking on the grain [to separate the chaff from the grain], do not (muzzle it/put a covering on its mouth) [to prevent it from eating some of the grain].
5 If they will dwell brothers together and he will die one from them and a son not [belongs] to him not she will belong [the] wife of the dead [man] the outside towards to a man strange husband's brother her he will go on her and he will take her for himself to a wife and he will act as a husband's brother for her.
If two brothers live on the same property, and one of them who has no son dies, the man’s widow should not marry someone who is not a member of his family. The dead man’s brother must marry her and have sex [EUP] with her. It is his duty to do that.
6 And it will be the firstborn whom she will bear he will stand on [the] name of brother his dead and not it will be wiped out name his from Israel.
If she later gives birth to a son, that son is to be considered [MTY] the son of the man who died, in order that the dead man’s name will not disappear from Israel.
7 And if not he will desire the man to take brother's wife his and she will go up brother's wife his the gate towards to the elders and she will say he has refused husband's brother my to establish for brother his a name in Israel not he was willing to act as a husband's brother for me.
“But if the dead man’s brother does not want to marry that woman, she must stand at the (gate/central meeting place) of the town and say to the [town] elders, ‘My husband’s brother will not do (his duty/what he is supposed to do). He refuses to [marry me in order that I may give birth to a son who will] prevent my dead husband’s name from disappearing in Israel.’
8 And they will summon him [the] elders of city his and they will speak to him and he will stand firm and he will say not I desire to take her.
Then the elders must summon that man and talk to him. If he still refuses to marry that widow,
9 And she will draw near brother's wife his to him to [the] eyes of the elders and she will draw off sandal his from on foot his and she will spit in face his and she will answer and she will say thus let it be done to the man who not he will build [the] house of (brother his *L(abh)*)
she must go up to him while the elders are watching, and take off one of his sandals [to symbolize/show that he would not receive any of her property], and spit in his face, and say to him, ‘This is what happens to the man who refuses to do what is needed [to allow his dead brother to have a son] in order that our family name does not disappear.’
10 and it will be called name its in Israel [the] house of [the] [one] drawn off of the sandal.
After that happens, that man’s family will be known as ‘the family of the man whose sandal was pulled off’.
11 If they will be struggling together men together anyone and countryman his and she will draw near [the] wife of the one [man] to rescue (husband her *LAB(h)*) from [the] hand of [the] [one who] is striking him and she will stretch out hand her and she will take hold on genitals his.
When [two] men are fighting with each other, and the one man’s wife comes near to help her husband by grabbing hold of the other man’s genitals,
12 And you will cut off hand her not it will look with pity eye your.
do not act mercifully toward her; cut off her hand.
13 Not it will belong to you in bag your a weight and a weight large and small.
“[When you are buying or selling things], do not try to cheat people by having two kinds of weights, [one which you use when you buy something and one which you use when you sell something], and two kinds of measuring baskets, [one which you use when you buy something and one which you use when you sell something].
14 Not it will belong to you in house your a measure and a measure large and small.
15 A weight full and righteousness it will belong to you a measure full and righteousness it will belong to you so that they may be long days your on the land which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you.
Always use correct weights and correct measuring baskets, in order that Yahweh our God will allow you to live a long time in the land that he is giving to you.
16 For [is] [the] abomination of Yahweh God your every [one who] does these [things] every [one who] does injustice.
Yahweh hates all those who act dishonestly, [and he will punish them].
17 Remember [that] which it did to you Amalek on the way when came out you from Egypt.
Continue to remember what the Amalek people-group did to your ancestors when they were coming out of Egypt.
18 That it met you on the way and it attacked in [the] rear you all the stragglers behind you and you [were] exhausted and weary and not it feared God.
They attacked your ancestors as your ancestors were traveling, when they were weak and exhausted. Those people were not afraid of God at all, so they attacked your ancestors from the rear and killed all those who were unable to walk as fast as the others.
19 And it will be when gives rest Yahweh God your - to you from all enemies your from round about in the land which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you an inheritance to take possession of it you will wipe out [the] remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens not you will forget.
Therefore, when Yahweh our God has given you the land [that he promised to give you], and when he has enabled you to rest from [fighting] all your enemies around you, kill all the Amalek people-group, with the result that no one will remember them any more. Do not forget [to do this]!”
