Bible in Basic English
Do not have in your bag different weights, a great and a small;
Or in your house different measures, a great and a small.
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.
For all who do such things, and all whose ways are not upright, are disgusting to the Lord your God.
Keep in mind what Amalek did to you on your way from Egypt;
How, meeting you on the way, he made an attack on you when you were tired and without strength, cutting off all the feeble ones at the end of your line; and the fear of God was not in him.
So when the Lord your God has given you rest from all who are against you on every side, in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, see to it that the memory of Amalek is cut off from the earth; keep this in mind.
— Deuteronomy 25:13-1964, Bible in Basic English
“Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small. Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small. 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. For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the Lord thy God. Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of Egypt; 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. 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. ”
And his family will be named in Israel, The house of him whose shoe has been taken off.
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;
Her hand is to be cut off; have no pity on her.
Do not have in your bag different weights, a great and a small;

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.
For all who do such things, and all whose ways are not upright, are disgusting to the Lord your God.
