Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

Deuteronomy 25

1 Stripes must not exceed forty. 4 The ox is not to be muzzled. 5 Of raising seed unto a brother. 11 Of the immodest woman. 13 Of unjust weights. 17 The memory of Amalek is to be blotted out.

 25:1 ¶ If x3588 there be x1961 a controversy 7379 between x996 men, y582 x376 and they come 5066 z8738 unto x413 judgment, 4941 that [the judges] may judge 8199 z8804 them; then they shall justify 6663 z8689 x853 the righteous, 6662 and condemn 7561 z8689 x853 the wicked. 7563

 25:2 And it shall be, x1961 if x518 the wicked x7563 man y7563 [be] worthy y1121 to be beaten, 5221 z8687 x1121 that the judge 8199 z8802 shall cause him to lie down, 5307 z8689 and to be beaten 5221 z8689 before his face, 6440 according y1767 to x1767 his fault, 7564 by a certain number. 4557

 25:3 Forty 705 stripes y5221 z8686 he may give x5221 him, [and] not x3808 exceed: 3254 z8686 lest, x6435 [if] he should exceed, 3254 z8686 and beat 5221 z8687 him above x5921 these x428 with many 7227 stripes, 4347 then thy brother 251 should seem vile 7034 z8738 y5869 unto x5869 thee.

 25:4 ¶ Thou shalt not x3808 muzzle 2629 z8799 the ox 7794 when he treadeth out y1778 z8800 x1758 [the corn].

 25:5 ¶ If x3588 brethren 251 dwell 3427 z8799 together, 3162 and one 259 of x4480 them die, 4191 z8804 and have no x369 child, 1121 the wife 802 of the dead 4191 z8801 shall not x3808 marry x1961 without 2351 unto a stranger: 376 2114 z8801 her husband's brother 2993 shall go in 935 z8799 unto x5921 her, and take 3947 z8804 her to him to wife, 802 and perform the duty of an husband's brother 2992 z8762 unto her.

 25:6 And it shall be, x1961 [that] the firstborn 1060 which x834 she beareth 3205 z8799 shall succeed 6965 z8799 in x5921 the name 8034 of his brother 251 [which is] dead, 4191 z8801 that his name 8034 be not x3808 put out 4229 z8735 of Israel. 3478 x4480

 25:7 And if x518 the man 376 like 2654 z8799 not x3808 to take 3947 z8800 x853 his brother's wife, 2994 then let his brother's wife 2994 go up 5927 z8804 to the gate 8179 unto x413 the elders, 2205 and say, 559 z8804 My husband's brother 2993 refuseth 3985 z8765 to raise up 6965 z8687 unto his brother 251 a name 8034 in Israel, 3478 he will 14 z8804 not x3808 perform the duty of my husband's brother. 2992 z8763

 25:8 Then the elders 2205 of his city 5892 shall call 7121 z8804 him, and speak 1696 z8765 unto x413 him: and [if] he stand 5975 z8804 [to it], and say, 559 z8804 I like 2654 z8804 not x3808 to take 3947 z8800 her;

 25:9 Then shall his brother's wife 2994 come 5066 z8738 unto x413 him in the presence 5869 of the elders, 2205 and loose 2502 z8804 his shoe 5275 from off x4480 x5921 his foot, 7272 and spit 3417 z8804 in his face, 6440 and shall answer 6030 z8804 and say, 559 z8804 So x3602 shall it be done 6213 z8735 unto that man 376 that x834 will not x3808 build up 1129 z8799 x853 his brother's 251 house. 1004

 25:10 And his name 8034 shall be called 7121 z8738 in Israel, 3478 The house 1004 of him that hath his shoe 5275 loosed. 2502 z8803

 25:11 ¶ When x3588 men y582 x376 strive 5327 z8735 together 3162 one x376 with another, 251 y376 and the wife 802 of the one 259 draweth near 7126 z8804 for to deliver 5337 z8687 x853 her husband 376 out of the hand 3027 x4480 of him that smiteth 5221 z8688 him, and putteth forth 7971 z8804 her hand, 3027 and taketh 2388 z8689 him by the secrets: 4016

 25:12 Then thou shalt cut off 7112 z8804 x853 her hand, 3709 thine eye 5869 shall not x3808 pity 2347 z8799 [her].

 25:13 ¶ Thou shalt not x3808 have x1961 in thy bag 3599 divers weights, 68 a great 1419 and a small. 6996

 25:14 Thou shalt not x3808 have x1961 in thine house 1004 divers measures, 374 a great 1419 and a small. 6996

 25:15 [But] thou shalt have x1961 a perfect 8003 and just 6664 weight, 68 a perfect 8003 and just 6664 measure 374 shalt thou have: x1961 that x4616 thy days 3117 may be lengthened 748 z8686 in x5921 the land 127 which x834 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 giveth 5414 z8802 thee.

 25:16 For x3588 all x3605 that do 6213 z8802 such things, 428 [and] all x3605 that do 6213 z8802 unrighteously, 5766 [are] an abomination 8441 unto the LORD 3068 thy God. 430

 25:17 ¶ Remember 2142 z8800 x853 what x834 Amalek 6002 did 6213 z8804 unto thee by the way, 1870 when ye were come forth 3318 z8800 out of Egypt; 4714 x4480

 25:18 How x834 he met 7136 z8804 thee by the way, 1870 and smote the hindmost 2179 z8762 of thee, [even] all x3605 [that were] feeble 2826 z8737 behind 310 thee, when thou x859 [wast] faint 5889 and weary; 3023 and he feared y3373 x3372 not x3808 God. 430

 25:19 Therefore it shall be, x1961 when the LORD 3068 thy God 430 hath given thee rest 5117 z8687 from all x4480 x3605 thine enemies 341 z8802 round about, 5439 x4480 in the land 776 which x834 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 giveth 5414 z8802 thee [for] an inheritance 5159 to possess 3423 z8800 it, [that] thou shalt blot out 4229 z8799 x853 the remembrance 2143 of Amalek 6002 from under x4480 x8478 heaven; 8064 thou shalt not x3808 forget 7911 z8799 [it].
