13 (A)You shall not have in your bag [a]differing weights, a large and a small. 14 You shall not have in your house [b]differing measures, a large and a small. 15 You shall have a correct and honest [c]weight; you shall have a correct and honest [d]measure, (B)so that your days may be prolonged [e]in the land which the Lord your God is giving you. 16 For (C)everyone who does these things, everyone who acts unjustly is an abomination to the Lord your God.

17 (D)Remember what Amalek did to you on the way when you came out of Egypt, 18 how he confronted you on the way and attacked among you all the stragglers at your rear when you were tired and weary; and he (E)did not [f]fear God. 19 So it shall come about, when the Lord your God has given you (F)rest from all your surrounding enemies in the land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance to [g]possess, that you shall wipe out the mention of the name Amalek from under heaven; you must not forget.

13 Do not have two differing weights in your bag—one heavy, one light.(A) 14 Do not have two differing measures in your house—one large, one small. 15 You must have accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long(B) in the land the Lord your God is giving you. 16 For the Lord your God detests anyone who does these things, anyone who deals dishonestly.(C)

17 Remember what the Amalekites(D) did to you along the way when you came out of Egypt. 18 When you were weary and worn out, they met you on your journey and attacked all who were lagging behind; they had no fear of God.(E) 19 When the Lord your God gives you rest(F) from all the enemies(G) around you in the land he is giving you to possess as an inheritance, you shall blot out the name of Amalek(H) from under heaven. Do not forget!
