Bible. Deuteronomy
024:020 When you beat your olive tree, you shall not go over the
boughs again: it shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless,
and for the widow.
024:021 When you gather [the grapes of] your vineyard, you shall
not glean it after you: it shall be for the foreigner,
for the fatherless, and for the widow.
024:022 You shall remember that you were a bondservant in the land of Egypt:
therefore I command you to do this thing.
025:001 If there be a controversy between men, and they come to judgment,
and [the judges] judge them; then they shall justify the righteous,
and condemn the wicked;
025:002 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 wickedness, by number.
025:003 Forty stripes he may give him, he shall not exceed; lest, if he
should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes,
then your brother should seem vile to you.
025:004 You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out [the grain].
025:005 If brothers dwell together, and one of them die, and have no son,
the wife of the dead shall not be married outside to a stranger:
her husband's brother shall go in to her, and take her to him
as wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother to her.
025:006 It shall be, that the firstborn whom she bears shall succeed
in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name not be
blotted out of Israel.
025:007 If the man doesn't want to take his brother's wife, then his
brother's wife shall go up to the gate to the elders, and say,
My husband's brother refuses to raise up to his brother
a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband's
brother to me.
025:008 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him:
and if he stand, and say, I don't want to take her;
025:009 then his brother's wife shall come to him in the presence
of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit
in his face; and she shall answer and say, So shall it be done
to the man who does not build up his brother's house.
025:010 His name shall be called in Israel, The house of him who has
his shoe untied.
025:011 When men strive together one with another, and the wife
of the one draws near to deliver her husband out of the hand
of him who strikes him, and puts forth her hand, and takes
him by the secrets;
025:012 then you shall cut off her hand, your eye shall have no pity.
025:013 You shall not have in your bag diverse weights, a great
and a small.
025:014 You shall not have in your house diverse measures, a great
and a small.
025:015 A perfect and just weight shall you have; a perfect and just
measure shall you have: that your days may be long in the land
