Deuteronomy 25:10-12
New English Translation
10 His family name will be referred to[a] in Israel as “the family[b] of the one whose sandal was removed.”[c]
11 If two men[d] get into a hand-to-hand fight, and the wife of one of them gets involved to help her husband against his attacker, and she reaches out her hand and grabs his private parts,[e] 12 then you must cut off her hand—do not pity her.
