Deuteronomy 25 — Context

9

Then his brother's wife is to come to him, before the responsible men of the town, and take his shoe off his foot, and put shame on him, and say, So let it be done to the man who will not take care of his brother's name.

10

And his family will be named in Israel, The house of him whose shoe has been taken off.

11

If two men are fighting, and the wife of one of them, coming to the help of her husband, takes the other by the private parts;

12

Her hand is to be cut off; have no pity on her.

13

Do not have in your bag different weights, a great and a small;

14

Or in your house different measures, a great and a small.

15

But have a true weight and a true measure: so that your life may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
