4#(Prov. 12:10; 1 Cor. 9:9; 1 Tim. 5:18)“You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.
Marriage Duty of the Surviving Brother
5#Matt. 22:24; Mark 12:19; Luke 20:28“If brothers dwell together, and one of them dies and has no son, the widow of the dead man shall not be married to a stranger outside the family; her husband’s brother shall go in to her, take her as his wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her. 6And it shall be that the firstborn son which she bears #Gen. 38:9will succeed to the name of his dead brother, that #Ruth 4:5, 10his name may not be blotted out of Israel. 7But if the man does not want to take his brother’s wife, then let his brother’s wife go up to the #Ruth 4:1, 2gate to the elders, and say, ‘My husband’s brother refuses to raise up a name to his brother in Israel; he will not perform the duty of my husband’s brother.’ 8Then the elders of his city shall call him and speak to him. But if he stands firm and says, #Ruth 4:6‘I do not want to take her,’ 9then his brother’s wife shall come to him in the presence of the elders, #Ruth 4:7, 8remove his sandal from his foot, spit in his face, and answer and say, ‘So shall it be done to the man who will not #Ruth 4:11build up his brother’s house.’ 10And his name shall be called in Israel, ‘The house of him who had his sandal removed.’
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, 12then you shall cut off her hand; #Deut. 7:2; 19:13your eye shall not pity her.
13#Lev. 19:35–37; Prov. 11:1; 20:23; Ezek. 45:10; Mic. 6:11“You shall not have in your bag differing weights, a heavy and a light. 14You shall not have in your house differing measures, a large and a small. 15You shall have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure, #Ex. 20:12that your days may be lengthened in the land which the Lord your God is giving you. 16For #Prov. 11:1; (1 Thess. 4:6)all who do such things, all who behave unrighteously, are an abomination to the Lord your God.
Destroy the Amalekites
17#Ex. 17:8–16; 1 Sam. 15:1–3“Remember what Amalek did to you on the way as you were coming out of Egypt, 18how 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 #(Ps. 36:1); Rom. 3:18did not fear God. 19Therefore it shall be, #1 Sam. 15:3when 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 #Ex. 17:14blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. You shall not forget.
