Miscellaneous Laws

11 “If two men fight together, and the wife of one draws near to rescue her husband from the hand of the one attacking him, and puts out her hand and seizes him by the genitals, 12 then you shall cut off her hand; (A)your eye shall not pity her.

13 (B)“You shall not have in your bag differing weights, a heavy and a light. 14 You shall not have in your house differing measures, a large and a small. 15 You shall have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure, (C)that your days may be lengthened in the land which the Lord your God is giving you. 16 For (D)all who do such things, all who behave unrighteously, are [a]an abomination to the Lord your God.

Destroy the Amalekites

17 (E)“Remember what Amalek did to you on the way as you were coming out of Egypt, 18 how he met you on the way and attacked your rear ranks, all the stragglers at your rear, when you were tired and weary; and he (F)did not fear God. 19 Therefore it shall be, (G)when the Lord your God has given you rest from your enemies all around, in the land which the Lord your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance, that you will (H)blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. You shall not forget.
