Deuteronomy, starting at chapter 25
{25:1} 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; {25:2} 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. {25:3} 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. {25:4} You
shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out [the grain]. {25:5} 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. {25:6} 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.
{25:7} 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." {25:8}
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;" {25:9} 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." {25:10} His name shall be called in Israel, The
house of him who has his shoe untied.
{25:11} 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;
{25:12} then you shall cut off her hand, your eye shall have no pity.
{25:13} You shall not have in your bag diverse weights, a great and
a small. {25:14} You shall not have in your house diverse measures, a
great and a small. {25:15} You shall have a perfect and just weight.
You shall have a perfect and just measure, that your days may be long
in the land which Yahweh your God gives you. {25:16} For all who do
such things, [even] all who do unrighteously, are an abomination to
Yahweh your God. {25:17} Remember what Amalek did to you by the way as
you came forth out of Egypt; {25:18} how he met you by the way, and
struck the hindmost of you, all who were feeble behind you, when you
were faint and weary; and he didn't fear God. {25:19} Therefore it
shall be, when Yahweh your God has given you rest from all your
enemies all around, in the land which Yahweh your God gives you for an
inheritance to possess it, that you shall blot out the memory of
Amalek from under the sky; you shall not forget.
{26:1} It shall be, when you are come in to the land which Yahweh
your God gives you for an inheritance, and possess it, and dwell
therein, {26:2} that you shall take of the first of all the fruit of
the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that Yahweh your
God gives you; and you shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the
place which Yahweh your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell
there. {26:3} You shall come to the priest who shall be in those days,
and tell him, "I profess this day to Yahweh your God, that I am come
to the land which Yahweh swore to our fathers to give us." {26:4} The
priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before
the altar of Yahweh your God. {26:5} You shall answer and say before
Yahweh your God, "A Syrian ready to perish was my father; and he went
down into Egypt, and sojourned there, few in number; and he became
there a nation, great, mighty, and populous. {26:6} The Egyptians
dealt ill with us, and afflicted us, and laid on us hard bondage:
{26:7} and we cried to Yahweh, the God of our fathers, and Yahweh
heard our voice, and saw our affliction, and our toil, and our
oppression; {26:8} and Yahweh brought us forth out of Egypt with a
mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror, and
with signs, and with wonders; {26:9} and he has brought us into this
place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
{26:10} Now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the
ground, which you, Yahweh, have given me." You shall set it down
before Yahweh your God, and worship before Yahweh your God. {26:11}
You shall rejoice in all the good which Yahweh your God has given to
you, and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the foreigner who is
in the midst of you.
{26:12} When you have made an end of tithing all the tithe of your
increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then you
shall give it to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and
to the widow, that they may eat within your gates, and be filled.
{26:13} You shall say before Yahweh your God, "I have put away the
holy things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite,
and to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according
to all your commandment which you have commanded me: I have not
transgressed any of your commandments, neither have I forgotten them:
{26:14} I have not eaten of it in my mourning, neither have I put away
of it, being unclean, nor given of it for the dead: I have listened to
the voice of Yahweh my God; I have done according to all that you have
commanded me. {26:15} Look down from your holy habitation, from
heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the ground which you have
given us, as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and
honey."
{26:16} This day Yahweh your God commands you to do these statutes
and ordinances: you shall therefore keep and do them with all your
heart, and with all your soul. {26:17} You have declared Yahweh this
day to be your God, and that you would walk in his ways, and keep his
statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and listen to his
voice: {26:18} and Yahweh has declared you this day to be a people for
his own possession, as he has promised you, and that you should keep
all his commandments; {26:19} and to make you high above all nations
that he has made, in praise, and in name, and in honor; and that you
may be a holy people to Yahweh your God, as he has spoken.
{27:1} Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying,
"Keep all the commandment which I command you this day. {27:2} It
shall be on the day when you shall pass over the Jordan to the land
which Yahweh your God gives you, that you shall set yourself up great
stones, and plaster them with plaster: {27:3} and you shall write on
them all the words of this law, when you have passed over; that you
may go in to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, a land flowing
with milk and honey, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised
you. {27:4} It shall be, when you have passed over the Jordan, that
you shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in Mount
Ebal, and you shall plaster them with plaster. {27:5} There you shall
build an altar to Yahweh your God, an altar of stones: you shall lift
up no iron [tool] on them. {27:6} You shall build the altar of Yahweh
your God of uncut stones; and you shall offer burnt offerings thereon
to Yahweh your God: {27:7} and you shall sacrifice peace offerings,
and shall eat there; and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God.
{27:8} You shall write on the stones all the words of this law very
plainly."
{27:9} Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel,
saying, "Keep silence, and listen, Israel: this day you have become
the people of Yahweh your God. {27:10} You shall therefore obey the
voice of Yahweh your God, and do his commandments and his statutes,
which I command you this day."
{27:11} Moses commanded the people the same day, saying, {27:12}
"These shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you have
passed over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and
Joseph, and Benjamin. {27:13} These shall stand on Mount Ebal for the
curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. {27:14}
The Levites shall answer, and tell all the men of Israel with a loud
voice, {27:15} 'Cursed is the man who makes an engraved or molten
image, an abomination to Yahweh, the work of the hands of the
craftsman, and sets it up in secret.' All the people shall answer and
say, 'Amen.' {27:16} 'Cursed is he who sets light by his father or his
mother.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.' {27:17} 'Cursed is he who
removes his neighbor's landmark.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.'
{27:18} 'Cursed is he who makes the blind to wander out of the way.'
All the people shall say, 'Amen.' {27:19} 'Cursed is he who wrests the
justice [due] to the foreigner, fatherless, and widow.' All the people
shall say, 'Amen.' {27:20} 'Cursed is he who lies with his father's
wife, because he has uncovered his father's skirt.' All the people
shall say, 'Amen.' {27:21} 'Cursed is he who lies with any manner of
animal.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.' {27:22} 'Cursed is he who
lies with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of
his mother.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.' {27:23} 'Cursed is he
who lies with his mother-in-law.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.'
{27:24} 'Cursed is he who strikes his neighbor in secret.' All the
people shall say, 'Amen.' {27:25} 'Cursed is he who takes a bribe to
kill an innocent person.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.' {27:26}
'Cursed is he who doesn't confirm the words of this law to do them.'
All the people shall say, 'Amen.'"
