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.
05:026:001 And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which
the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and
dwellest therein;
05:026:002 That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the
earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy God giveth
thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which
the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name there.
05:026:003 And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those
days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the LORD thy God, that
I am come unto the country which the LORD sware unto our fathers for to
give us.
05:026:004 And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and
set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God.
