The XXV. Chapter.
A Whan there is a stryfe betwene men,
they shalbe brought before þe; lawe
and iudged: and the iudges shall iustifye
the righteous, and condemne the vngodly.
And yf the vngodly haue deserued
strypes, the iudge shall commaunde to take
him downe, and they shall beate him before
him, acordynge to the measure and nombre
of his trespace. noteWhan they haue geu&ebar; him
fortye strypes, they shall beate him nomore,
lest (yf there be mo strypes geuen him) he be
beaten to moch, and thy brother be horrible
before thine eyes.
noteThou shalt not mosell the mouth of the
oxe, that treadeth out the corne.
noteWhan brethren dwell together, and one
of them dye with out children, then shall not
þe; wife of the deed take a straunge man without,
note but hir kynsman shal go in vnto her, and
take her to wyfe: and the first sonne that she
beareth, shal he set vp after the name of his
brother which is deed, that his name be not
put out of Israel.
B But yf the man wyl not take his kynswoman,
then shal his kin&esset;woman go vp vnder
the gate to the Elders, and saye: My kynsman
refuseth to stere vp a name vnto his brother
in Israel, and wyl not marye me. Then
shal the Elders of the cite call him, and comen
with him. Yf he stonde then and saye: I
wyl not take her, then shal his kyn&esset;woman
steppe forth vnto him before the Elders,
and lowse a shue fr&obar; his fote, and spyt in his
face, and shal answere, and saye: Thus shal
it be done vnto euery man, that wyl not builde
his brothers house. And his name shalbe
called in Israel, the vnshodd house.
Yf two men stryue together, and the wyfe
of one renne to, to delyuer hir hu&esset;bande
from the hande of him that smyteth him, ∧
put forth hir hande, and take him by the secretes,
then shalt thou cut of hir hande, and
thine eye shal not pitie her.
C noteThou shalt not haue in þi; bagg two maner
of weightes, a greate and a small. Nether
shalt thou haue in thyne house dyuerse
measures, a greate and a small. Thou shalt
haue a perfecte and iust weighte, and a perfecte
and iust measure, that thy life maye be
longe in the londe, which the LORDE þi; God
shal geue the. For who so euer doth soch (yee
all they that do euell) are abhominacion vnto
the LORDE thy God. noteRem&ebar;bre what the
Amalechites did vnto the by the waye, wh&abar;
ye were departed out of Egipte, how they
buckled with the by the waye, and smote thy
hynmost, euen all that were feble, which came
after the whan thou wast weerye and
fainte, and they feared not God. Now wh&abar;
the LORDE thy God bryngeth the, to rest fr&obar;
all thine enemies rounde aboute in the londe
which the LORDE thy God geueth the for inheritaunce
to possesse, then shalt thou put
out the remembraunce of the Amalechites
from vnder heauen. Forget not this.
