Deuteronomy 25:9-18
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 25
9then his brother’s widow shall come up to him in the sight of the elders, and pull his sandal off his foot and spit in his face; and she shall declare, ‘This is what is done to the man who does not build up his brother’s house!’ 10And in Israel his family shall be called by the name, ‘The house of him whose sandal was removed.’
11If two men, a man and his countryman, have a fight with each other, and the wife of one comes up to save her husband from the hand of the one who is hitting him, and she reaches out with her hand and grasps that man’s genitals,
12then you shall cut off her hand; you shall not show pity.
13You shall not have in your bag differing weights, a large and a small.
14You shall not have in your house differing measures, a large and a small.
15You shall have a correct and honest weight; you shall have a correct and honest measure, so that your days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
16For everyone who does these things, everyone who acts unjustly is an abomination to the Lord your God.
King James Version
Chapter 25
9Then 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. 10And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe loosed.
11When 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:
12Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her.
13Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.
14Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.
15But 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.
16For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the Lord thy God.
17Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of Egypt;
18How 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.

Then she will declare, ‘This is what is done to a man who will not build up his brother’s house.’ 10And his family name in Israel will be ‘The house of the man whose sandal was removed.’
11"If two men are fighting with each other, and the wife of one steps in to rescue her husband from the one striking him, and she puts out her hand and grabs his genitals,
12you are to cut off her hand. Do not show pity.
13"Do not have differing weights in your bag, one heavy and one light.
14Do not have differing dry measures in your house, a larger and a smaller.
15You must have a full and honest weight, a full and honest dry measure, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
16For everyone who does such things and acts unfairly is detestable to the Lord your God.

Chapter 25
9the widow must walk over to him in the presence of the elders, pull his sandal from his foot, and spit in his face. Then she must declare, ‘This is what happens to a man who refuses to provide his brother with children.’ 10Ever afterward in Israel his family will be referred to as ‘the family of the man whose sandal was pulled off’!
11If two Israelite men get into a fight and the wife of one tries to rescue her husband by grabbing the testicles of the other man,
12you must cut off her hand. Show her no pity.
13You must use accurate scales when you weigh out merchandise,
14and you must use full and honest measures.
15Yes, always use honest weights and measures, so that you may enjoy a long life in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
16All who cheat with dishonest weights and measures are detestable to the Lord your God.
