If he stond
and say: I will not take her, then let his sister-in-law go unto
him in the presence of the elders and loose his shoe off his foot
and spit in his face and answer and say: So shall it be done unto
that man that will not build his brother's house. And his name
shall be called in Israel, the unshoed house. If when men strive
together, one with another, the wife of the one run to, for to rid
her husband out of the hands of him that smiteth him and put forth
her hand and take him by the secrets: cut off her hand, and let
not thine eye pity her. Thou shalt not have in thy bag two manner
weights, a great and a small: neither shalt thou have in thine
house divers measures, a great and a small. But thou shalt have a
perfect and a just measure: 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 unright, are abomination unto the LORD thy
God. Remember what Amalech did unto thee by the way after thou
camest out of Egypt, he met thee by the way and smote the hindmost
of you, all that were over laboured and dragged behind, when thou
wast fainted and weary, and he feared not God. Therefore 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 to inherit
and possess: see that thou put out the name of Amalech from under
heaven, and forget not.
