Deuteronomy 25:1 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 "When two people have an argument, they should go to the court. The judges will decide which person is right and which is wrong.
2 If the judge decides a person must be beaten with a whip, the judge must make that person lie face down. Someone will beat the guilty person while the judge watches. The number of times he must be hit depends on the crime.
3 Don't hit anyone more than 40 times during punishment, because more than that means that their life is not important to you.
4 "When an animal is being used to separate grain, you must not cover its mouth to stop it from eating.
5 "If two brothers live together, and one of them dies without a son, the wife of the dead man must not marry a stranger outside the family. Her husband's brother must take her as his wife and have sexual relations with her. He must do the duty of a husband's brother for her.
6 Then the first son she has will be considered the dead man's son in order to keep the dead man's name alive in Israel.
7 If the man does not want to take his brother's wife, she must go to the town meeting place and tell the leaders, 'My husband's brother refuses to keep his brother's name alive in Israel. He will not do the duty of a husband's brother to me.'
8 Then the leaders of the city must call the man and talk to him. If the man is stubborn and says, 'I don't want to take her,'
9 then his brother's wife must come to him in front of the leaders. She must take his shoe off his foot and spit in his face. She must say, 'This is being done to the man who will not give his brother a son!'
10 From then on, the brother's family will be known in Israel as, 'the family of the man whose shoe was removed.'
11 "Two men might be fighting against each other. One man's wife might come to help her husband, but she must not grab the other man's private parts.
12 If she does that, cut off her hand. Don't feel sorry for her.
13 "Don't use weights that are too heavy or too light.
14 Don't keep measures in your house that are too large or too small.
15 You must use weights and measures that are correct and accurate. Then you will live a long time in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
16 The Lord your God hates people who cheat with false weights and measures. Yes, he hates all people who do wrong.
17 "Remember what the people of Amalek did to you when you were coming from Egypt.
18 The Amalekites did not respect God. They attacked you when you were weak and tired. They killed all your people who were slow and walking behind everyone else.
19 That is why you must destroy the memory of the Amalekites from the world. You will do this when you enter the land that the Lord your God is giving you. There he will give you rest from all the enemies around you. But do not forget to destroy the Amalekites!
1 If H3588 there be H1961 a controversy H7379 between H996 men, H376 and they come H5066 unto H413 judgment, H4941 that the judges may judge H8199 them ; then they shall justify H6663 H853 the righteous, H6662 and condemn H7561 H853 the wicked. H7563
2 And it shall be, H1961 if H518 the wicked H7563 man be worthy to be beaten H1121 H5221 , that the judge H8199 shall cause him to lie down, H5307 and to be beaten H5221 before his face, H6440 according to H1767 his fault, H7564 by a certain number. H4557
3 Forty H705 stripes he may give H5221 him, and not H3808 exceed: H3254 lest, H6435 if he should exceed, H3254 and beat H5221 him above H5921 these H428 with many H7227 stripes, H4347 then thy brother H251 should seem vile H7034 unto H5869 thee.
4 Thou shalt not H3808 muzzle H2629 the ox H7794 when he treadeth out H1758 the corn .
5 If H3588 brethren H251 dwell H3427 together, H3162 and one H259 of H4480 them die, H4191 and have no H369 child, H1121 the wife H802 of the dead H4191 shall not H3808 marry H1961 without H2351 unto a stranger H376 H2114 : her husband's brother H2993 shall go in H935 unto H5921 her , and take H3947 her to him to wife, H802 and perform the duty of a husband's brother H2992 unto her.
6 And it shall be, H1961 that the firstborn H1060 which H834 she beareth H3205 shall succeed H6965 in H5921 the name H8034 of his brother H251 which is dead, H4191 that his name H8034 be not H3808 put out H4229 of Israel H4480 H3478 .
7 And if H518 the man H376 like H2654 not H3808 to take H3947 H853 his brother's wife, H2994 then let his brother's wife H2994 go up H5927 to the gate H8179 unto H413 the elders, H2205 and say, H559 My husband's brother H2993 refuseth H3985 to raise up H6965 unto his brother H251 a name H8034 in Israel, H3478 he will H14 not H3808 perform the duty of my husband's brother. H2992
8 Then the elders H2205 of his city H5892 shall call H7121 him , and speak H1696 unto H413 him : and if he stand H5975 to it , and say, H559 I like H2654 not H3808 to take H3947 her;
9 Then shall his brother's wife H2994 come H5066 unto H413 him in the presence H5869 of the elders, H2205 and loose H2502 his shoe H5275 from off H4480 H5921 his foot, H7272 and spit H3417 in his face, H6440 and shall answer H6030 and say, H559 So H3602 shall it be done H6213 unto that man H376 that H834 will not H3808 build up H1129 H853 his brother's H251 house. H1004
10 And his name H8034 shall be called H7121 in Israel, H3478 The house H1004 of him that hath his shoe H5275 loosed. H2502
11 When H3588 men H376 strive H5327 together H3162 one H376 with another, H251 and the wife H802 of the one H259 draweth near H7126 for to deliver H5337 H853 her husband H376 out of the hand H4480 H3027 of him that smiteth H5221 him , and putteth forth H7971 her hand, H3027 and taketh H2388 him by the secrets: H4016
12 Then thou shalt cut off H7112 H853 her hand, H3709 thine eye H5869 shall not H3808 pity H2347 her .
13 Thou shalt not H3808 have H1961 in thy bag H3599 divers weights H68 H68 , a great H1419 and a small. H6996
14 Thou shalt not H3808 have H1961 in thine house H1004 divers measures H374 H374 , a great H1419 and a small. H6996
15 But thou shalt have H1961 a perfect H8003 and just H6664 weight, H68 a perfect H8003 and just H6664 measure H374 shalt thou have: H1961 that H4616 thy days H3117 may be lengthened H748 in H5921 the land H127 which H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 giveth H5414 thee.
16 For H3588 all H3605 that do H6213 such things, H428 and all H3605 that do H6213 unrighteously, H5766 are an abomination H8441 unto the LORD H3068 thy God. H430
17 Remember H2142 H853 what H834 Amalek H6002 did H6213 unto thee by the way, H1870 when ye were come forth H3318 out of Egypt H4480 H4714 ;
18 How H834 he met H7136 thee by the way, H1870 and smote the hindmost H2179 of thee, even all H3605 that were feeble H2826 behind H310 thee , when thou H859 wast faint H5889 and weary; H3023 and he feared H3372 not H3808 God. H430
19 Therefore it shall be, H1961 when the LORD H3068 thy God H430 hath given thee rest H5117 from all H4480 H3605 thine enemies H341 round about H4480 H5439 , in the land H776 which H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 giveth H5414 thee for an inheritance H5159 to possess H3423 it, that thou shalt blot out H4229 H853 the remembrance H2143 of Amalek H6002 from under H4480 H8478 heaven; H8064 thou shalt not H3808 forget H7911 it .
