Bible. Deuteronomy
05:025:005 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.
05:025:006 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.
05:025:007 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.
05:025:008 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;
05:025:009 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.
05:025:010 And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that
hath his shoe loosed.
05:025:011 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:
05:025:012 Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity
her.
05:025:013 Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a
small.
05:025:014 Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great
and a small.
05:025:015 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.
05:025:016 For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously,
are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
05:025:017 Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were
come forth out of Egypt;
05:025:018 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.
05:025:019 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.
