And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt:
wherefore I command thee to do this thing.
Chapter .xxv.
When {If} there is strife between men, let them come unto the law,
and let the judges justify the righteous and condemn the
trespasser. And if the trespasser be worthy of stripes, then let
the judge cause to take him down and to beat him before his face
according to his trespass, unto a certain number. Forty stripes he
shall give him and not pass: lest if he should exceed and beat him
above that with many stripes, thy brother should appear ungodly
before thine eyes. Thou shalt not muzzle {mosell} the ox that
treadeth out the corn. When brethren dwell together and one of
them die and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not be
given out unto a stranger: but her brotherinlaw shall go in unto
her and take her to wife and marry her. And the eldest son which
she beareth, shall stond up in the name of his brother which is
dead, that his name be not put out in Israel. But and if the man
will not take his sisterinlaw, then let her go to the gate unto
the elders and say: My brotherinlaw refuseth to stir up unto his
brother a name in Israel, he will not marry me. Then let the
elders of his city call unto him and commune with him.
