King James Version

Berean Standard Bible
If there be
a controversy
between men, and
they come
unto
judgment
, that the judges
may judge
them;
then
they
shall
justify
the
righteous,
and condemn
the wicked
.
If there is
a dispute
between men, they are
to
go
to
court
to
be
judged
, so
that the innocent
may be
acquitted
and the guilty
condemned
.
And
it
shall
be,
if the wicked
man be
worthy
to be beaten, that
the judge shall cause
him to
lie down ,
and to
be beaten
before
his
face,
according
to
his fault,
by
a
certain
number.
If the guilty
man deserves
to be beaten, the judge shall have
him lie down and be flogged
in
his presence
with
the
number of
lashes
his
crime
warrants
.
Forty
stripes
he may give
him
, and
not
exceed:
lest ,
if
he
should
exceed,
and
beat
him
above
these
with
many
stripes,
then
thy
brother should
seem
vile
unto
thee
.
He may receive
no
more
than
forty
lashes
, lest your
brother be
beaten
any
more
than
that
and
be
degraded
in
your
sight
.
Thou
shalt
not muzzle the
ox when
he
treadeth
out the corn
.
Do
not muzzle an
ox while
it
is
treading
out the grain
.
If
brethren
dwell together ,
and one of them die,
and
have
no
child
, the wife
of
the
dead
shall
not marry without
unto
a
stranger:
her husband's
brother shall
go
in
unto
her,
and
take her to
him
to
wife ,
and perform
the duty of an
husband's
brother unto
her.
When
brothers
dwell together and one of them dies
without
a
son
, the widow
must
not marry outside
the
family.
Her husband’s
brother is
to
take her as
his
wife and fulfill
the duty of a
brother -in-law
for
her.
And
it
shall
be,
that
the firstborn
which
she beareth
shall
succeed
in
the name of his
brother
which
is
dead, that his name be
not put
out of
Israel.
The first
son
she bears
will
carry
on
the name of the
dead brother
, so
that his name will
not be
blotted
out from
Israel.
And
if the man like
not to take
his brother's
wife
, then
let
his
brother's
wife
go up
to the gate
unto
the
elders ,
and say, My husband's
brother refuseth
to raise
up
unto
his brother
a
name in Israel ,
he will
not perform the duty of my
husband's
brother.
But
if the man does
not want
to marry
his brother’s
widow
, she
is
to
go to the elders at
the
city
gate
and say, “
My husband’s
brother refuses
to preserve
his brother’s
name in Israel .
He is
not willing
to
perform the duty of a
brother -in-law
for
me
. ”
Then the elders of his city shall call
him ,
and speak unto
him :
and
if he stand
to
it,
and say
, I like
not to take
her ;
Then the elders of his city shall summon
him and speak with
him .
If he persists
and says
, “
I do
not want
to marry
her ,”
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
.
his brother’s
widow
shall
go
up
to
him in the presence of the elders, remove
his sandal
, spit in his face, and declare
, “This
is
what
is
done to
the
man who
will not maintain
his brother’s
line
. ”
And his name shall
be
called
in Israel ,
The house of him
that
hath
his
shoe
loosed
.
And his family
name in Israel will
be
called
“
The House of the
Unsandaled
. ”
When
men strive
together
one
with
another
, and the wife of the
one draweth
near
for
to deliver
her husband out
of
the hand
of
him
that
smiteth
him, and putteth
forth
her hand ,
and taketh
him
by
the
secrets:
If
two
men are
fighting
, and the wife of one steps
in
to rescue
her husband from
the one
striking
him, and she
reaches
out
her hand and grabs
his
genitals,
Then
thou
shalt
cut off her hand ,
thine
eye
shall
not
pity
her.
you
are
to
cut off her hand .
You
must
show
her no
pity
.
Thou
shalt
not have in thy
bag divers
weights
, a
great
and a
small
.
You
shall
not have two
differing
weights
in your
bag, one
heavy
and one
light
.
Thou
shalt
not have in thine
house divers
measures
, a
great
and a
small.
You
shall
not have two
differing
measures
in your
house, one
large
and one
small.
But
thou
shalt
have
a
perfect
and just
weight,
a
perfect
and just
measure
shalt
thou
have:
that thy
days
may be
lengthened
in the land which
the LORD thy
God giveth
thee
.
You
must
maintain
accurate
and honest
weights
and measures,
so
that you
may live
long
in the land that
the LORD your
God is
giving
you
.
For all
that
do
such
things ,
and
all
that
do
unrighteously,
are
an
abomination
unto
the LORD thy
God.
For everyone
who
behaves
dishonestly
in
regard
to
these
things is
detestable
to
the LORD your
God.
Remember what Amalek
did
unto
thee
by
the way ,
when
ye
were
come
forth
out
of
Egypt ;
Remember what the Amalekites
did
to
you
along
your
way from
Egypt ,
How he
met thee
by
the
way,
and
smote
the
hindmost
of
thee,
even
all
that
were
feeble
behind
thee,
when thou
wast
faint
and weary ;
and he
feared
not
God.
how they
met you
on
your
journey
when you
were
tired
and weary ,
and they
attacked
all
your
stragglers;
they
had
no
fear
of
God.
Therefore
it
shall
be,
when the LORD thy
God hath
given
thee
rest from all
thine
enemies round
about,
in the land which
the
LORD
thy
God
giveth
thee
for
an
inheritance
to possess it
, that
thou
shalt
blot out the remembrance
of Amalek from under heaven ;
thou
shalt
not forget it.
When the LORD your
God gives
you
rest from the
enemies around
you
in the land that
He
is
giving
you
to possess as
an
inheritance
, you
are
to
blot out the memory
of Amalek from under heaven .
Do
not forget !
