Deuteronomy 25 (WEBP)
[1] If there is a controversy between men, and they come to judgment and the judges judge them, then they shall justify the righteous and condemn the wicked.
[2] It shall be, if the wicked man is 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.
[3] He may sentence him to no more than forty stripes. He shall not give more, lest if he should give more and beat him more than that many stripes, then your brother will be degraded in your sight.
[4] You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
[5] If brothers dwell together, and one of them dies and has 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 as his wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her.
[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.
[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.”
[8] Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him. If he stands and says, “I don’t want to take her,”
[9] then his brother’s wife shall come to him in the presence of the elders, and loose his sandal from off his foot, and spit in his face. She shall answer and say, “So shall it be done to the man who does not build up his brother’s house.”
[10] His name shall be called in Israel, “The house of him who had his sandal removed.”
[11] When men strive against each other, and the wife of one draws near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him who strikes him, and puts out her hand, and grabs him by his private parts,
[12] then you shall cut off her hand. Your eye shall have no pity.
[13] You shall not have in your bag diverse weights, one heavy and one light.
[14] You shall not have in your house diverse measures, one large and one small.
[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.
[16] For all who do such things, all who do unrighteously, are an abomination to Yahweh your God.
[17] Remember what Amalek did to you by the way as you came out of Egypt,
[18] how he met you by the way, and struck the rearmost of you, all who were feeble behind you, when you were faint and weary; and he didn’t fear God.
[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.

Deuteronomy 25 (KJVS)
[1] If there be a controversy H7379 between men, H582 and they come H5066 (NiphPerf) unto judgment, H4941 that the judges may judge H8199 (QalPerf) them; then they shall justify H6663 (HiphPerf) the righteous, H6662 and condemn H7561 (HiphPerf) the wicked. H7563
[2] And it shall be, if the wicked man H7563 be worthy H1121 to be beaten, H5221 (HiphInf) that the judge H8199 (QalActPtc) shall cause him to lie down, H5307 (HiphPerf) and to be beaten H5221 (HiphPerf) before his face, H6440 according H1767 to his fault, H7564 by a certain number. H4557
[3] Forty H705 stripes H5221 (HiphImpf) he may give him, and not exceed: H3254 (HiphImpf) lest, if he should exceed, H3254 (HiphImpf) and beat H5221 (HiphInf) him above these with many H7227 stripes, H4347 then thy brother H251 should seem vile H7034 (NiphPerf) H5869 unto thee.
[4] Thou shalt not muzzle H2629 (QalImpf) the ox H7794 when he treadeth out H1778 (QalInf) the corn.
[5] If brethren H251 dwell H3427 (QalImpf) together, H3162 and one H259 of them die, H4191 (QalPerf) and have no child, H1121 the wife H802 of the dead H4191 (QalPtc) shall not marry without H2351 unto a stranger: H376 H2114 (QalPtc) her husband’s brother H2993 shall go in H935 (QalImpf) unto her, and take H3947 (QalPerf) her to him to wife, H802 and perform the duty of an husband’s brother H2992 (PielImpf) unto her.
[6] And it shall be, that the firstborn H1060 which she beareth H3205 (QalImpf) shall succeed H6965 (QalImpf) in the name H8034 of his brother H251 which is dead, H4191 (QalPtc) that his name H8034 be not put out H4229 (NiphImpf) of Israel. H3478
[7] And if the man H376 like H2654 (QalImpf) not to take H3947 (QalInf) his brother’s wife, H2994 then let his brother’s wife H2994 go up H5927 (QalPerf) to the gate H8179 unto the elders, H2205 and say, H559 (QalPerf) My husband’s brother H2993 refuseth H3985 (PielPerf) to raise up H6965 (HiphInf) unto his brother H251 a name H8034 in Israel, H3478 he will H14 (QalPerf) not perform the duty of my husband’s brother. H2992 (PielInf)
[8] Then the elders H2205 of his city H5892 shall call H7121 (QalPerf) him, and speak H1696 (PielPerf) unto him: and if he stand H5975 (QalPerf) to it, and say, H559 (QalPerf) I like H2654 (QalPerf) not to take H3947 (QalInf) her;
[9] then shall his brother’s wife H2994 come H5066 (NiphPerf) unto him in the presence H5869 of the elders, H2205 and loose H2502 (QalPerf) his shoe H5275 from off his foot, H7272 and spit H3417 (QalPerf) in his face, H6440 and shall answer H6030 (QalPerf) and say, H559 (QalPerf) So shall it be done H6213 (NiphImpf) unto that man H376 that will not build up H1129 (QalImpf) his brother’s H251 house. H1004
[10] And his name H8034 shall be called H7121 (NiphPerf) in Israel, H3478 The house H1004 of him that hath his shoe H5275 loosed. H2502 (QalPasPtc)
[11] When men H582 strive H5327 (NiphImpf) together H3162 one with another, H251 H376 and the wife H802 of the one H259 draweth near H7126 (QalPerf) for to deliver H5337 (HiphInf) her husband H376 out of the hand H3027 of him that smiteth H5221 (HiphPtc) him, and putteth forth H7971 (QalPerf) her hand, H3027 and taketh H2388 (HiphPerf) him by the secrets: H4016
[12] then thou shalt cut off H7112 (QalPerf) her hand, H3709 thine eye H5869 shall not pity H2347 (QalImpf) her.
[13] Thou shalt not have in thy bag H3599 divers weights,§ H68 H68 a great H1419 and a small. H6996
[14] Thou shalt not have in thine house H1004 divers measures,§ H374 H374 a great H1419 and a small. H6996
[15] But thou shalt have a perfect H8003 and just H6664 weight, H68 a perfect H8003 and just H6664 measure H374 shalt thou have: that thy days H3117 may be lengthened H748 (HiphImpf) in the land H127 which the Lord H3068 thy God H430 giveth H5414 (QalActPtc) thee.
[16] For all that do H6213 (QalActPtc) such things, H428 and all that do H6213 (QalActPtc) unrighteously, H5766 are an abomination H8441 unto the Lord H3068 thy God. H430
[17] Remember H2142 (QalInf) what Amalek H6002 did H6213 (QalPerf) unto thee by the way, H1870 when ye were come forth H3318 (QalInf) out of Egypt; H4714
[18] how he met H7136 (QalPerf) thee by the way, H1870 and smote the hindmost H2179 (PielImpf) of thee, even all that were feeble H2826 (NiphPtc) behind H310 thee, when thou wast faint H5889 and weary; H3023 and he feared H3373 not God. H430
[19] Therefore it shall be, when the Lord H3068 thy God H430 hath given thee rest H5117 (HiphInf) from all thine enemies H341 (QalActPtc) round about, H5439 in the land H776 which the Lord H3068 thy God H430 giveth H5414 (QalActPtc) thee for an inheritance H5159 to possess H3423 (QalInf) it, that thou shalt blot out H4229 (QalImpf) the remembrance H2143 of Amalek H6002 from under heaven; H8064 thou shalt not forget H7911 (QalImpf) it.

[1] εαν δε γενηται αντιλογια ανα μεσον ανθρωπων και προσελθωσιν εις κρισιν και κρινωσιν και δικαιωσωσιν τον δικαιον και καταγνωσιν του ασεβους
[2] και εσται εαν αξιος η πληγων ο ασεβων και καθιεις αυτον εναντι των κριτων και μαστιγωσουσιν αυτον εναντιον αυτων κατα την ασεβειαν αυτου αριθμω
[3] τεσσαρακοντα μαστιγωσουσιν αυτον ου προσθησουσιν εαν δε προσθωσιν μαστιγωσαι αυτον υπερ ταυτας τας πληγας πλειους ασχημονησει ο αδελφος σου εναντιον σου
[4] ου φιμωσεις βουν αλοωντα
[5] εαν δε κατοικωσιν αδελφοι επι το αυτο και αποθανη εις εξ αυτων σπερμα δε μη η αυτω ουκ εσται η γυνη του τεθνηκοτος εξω ανδρι μη εγγιζοντι ο αδελφος του ανδρος αυτης εισελευσεται προς αυτην και λημψεται αυτην εαυτω γυναικα και συνοικησει αυτη
[6] και εσται το παιδιον ο εαν τεκη κατασταθησεται εκ του ονοματος του τετελευτηκοτος και ουκ εξαλειφθησεται το ονομα αυτου εξ ισραηλ
[7] εαν δε μη βουληται ο ανθρωπος λαβειν την γυναικα του αδελφου αυτου και αναβησεται η γυνη επι την πυλην επι την γερουσιαν και ερει ου θελει ο αδελφος του ανδρος μου αναστησαι το ονομα του αδελφου αυτου εν ισραηλ ουκ ηθελησεν ο αδελφος του ανδρος μου
[8] και καλεσουσιν αυτον η γερουσια της πολεως αυτου και ερουσιν αυτω και στας ειπη ου βουλομαι λαβειν αυτην
[9] και προσελθουσα η γυνη του αδελφου αυτου εναντι της γερουσιας και υπολυσει το υποδημα αυτου το εν απο του ποδος αυτου και εμπτυσεται εις το προσωπον αυτου και αποκριθεισα ερει ουτως ποιησουσιν τω ανθρωπω ος ουκ οικοδομησει τον οικον του αδελφου αυτου
[10] και κληθησεται το ονομα αυτου εν ισραηλ οικος του υπολυθεντος το υποδημα
[11] εαν δε μαχωνται ανθρωποι επι το αυτο ανθρωπος μετα του αδελφου αυτου και προσελθη γυνη ενος αυτων εξελεσθαι τον ανδρα αυτης εκ χειρος του τυπτοντος αυτον και εκτεινασα την χειρα επιλαβηται των διδυμων αυτου
[12] αποκοψεις την χειρα αυτης ου φεισεται ο οφθαλμος σου επ αυτη
[13] ουκ εσται εν τω μαρσιππω σου σταθμιον και σταθμιον μεγα η μικρον
[14] ουκ εσται εν τη οικια σου μετρον και μετρον μεγα η μικρον
[15] σταθμιον αληθινον και δικαιον εσται σοι και μετρον αληθινον και δικαιον εσται σοι ινα πολυημερος γενη επι της γης ης κυριος ο θεος σου διδωσιν σοι εν κληρω
[16] οτι βδελυγμα κυριω τω θεω σου πας ποιων ταυτα πας ποιων αδικον
[17] μνησθητι οσα εποιησεν σοι αμαληκ εν τη οδω εκπορευομενου σου εξ αιγυπτου
[18] πως αντεστη σοι εν τη οδω και εκοψεν σου την ουραγιαν τους κοπιωντας οπισω σου συ δε επεινας και εκοπιας και ουκ εφοβηθη τον θεον
[19] και εσται ηνικα εαν καταπαυση σε κυριος ο θεος σου απο παντων των εχθρων σου των κυκλω σου εν τη γη η κυριος ο θεος σου διδωσιν σοι εν κληρω κατακληρονομησαι εξαλειψεις το ονομα αμαληκ εκ της υπο τον ουρανον και ου μη επιλαθη
