Chapter 25
Chapter 25 of Deuteronomy Touch on How You Conduct Yourself Against Others
Moral Conduct And Treatment Toward Others
Inasmuch as you think you are right before men, in the end you always want to make sure you are on the advantage.
As how select people want to enter politics to not genuinely help others, but to set aside for themselves in corruption.
Learn how to be right in the eyes of G-d first, before fellow men.
For G-d sees all things; mankind is limited to see the superficial.
“Lashes”
“Levirate Marriage and Releasing the Obligation”
“Honest Weighs and Measures”
“Amalek”
When there will be a grievance between people, and they approach the court, and they judge them, and they vindicate the righteous one and find the wicked one guilty;
25:1
it will be that if the wicked one is liable to lashes, the judge shall cast him down and strike him, before him, according to his wickedness, by a count.
25:2
Forty shall he strike him, he shall not add; lest he strike him an additional blow beyond these, and your brother will be degraded in your eyes.
25:3
You shall not muzzle an ox in its threshing.
:4
When brothers dwell together and one of them dies, and he has no child, the wife of the deceased shall not marry outside to a strange man; her brother-in-law shall come to her, and take her to himself as a wife, and perform levirate marriage.
:5
You shall not have in your pouch a weight and a weight – a large one and a small one.
:13
A perfect and honest weight shall you have, a perfect and honest measure shall you have, so that your days shall be lengthened on the Land that Hashem, your God, gives you.
:15
For an abomination of Hashem, your God, are all who do this, all who act corruptly.
:16
It shall be that when Hashem, your God, gives you rest from all your enemies all around, in the Land that Hashem, your God, gives you as an inheritance to possess it, you shall wipe out the memory of Amalek from under the heaven – you shall not forget!
:19
1 If there is a quarrel between men, and they approach the tribunal, and they [the judges] judge them, and they acquit the innocent one and condemn the guilty one
2 and it shall be, if the guilty one has incurred [the penalty of] lashes, that the judge shall make him lean over and flog him in front of him, commensurate with his crime, in number.
3 He shall flog him with forty [lashes]; he shall not exceed, lest he give him a much more severe flogging than these [forty lashes], and your brother will be degraded before your eyes.
4 You shall not muzzle an ox when it is threshing [the grain].
5 If brothers reside together, and one of them dies having no son, the dead man’s wife shall not marry an outsider. [Rather,] her husband’s brother shall be intimate with her, making her a wife for himself, thus performing the obligation of a husband’s brother with her.
6 And it will be, that the eldest brother [who performs the levirate marriage, if] she [can] bear will succeed in the name of his deceased brother, so that his [the deceased brother’s] name shall not be obliterated from Israel.
7 But if the man does not wish to take his brother’s wife, the brother’s wife shall go up to the gate, to the elders, and say, “My husband’s brother has refused to perpetuate his brother’s name in Israel he does not wish to perform the obligation of a husband’s brother with me.”
8 Then the elders of his city shall call him and speak to him, and he shall stand up and say, “I do not wish to take her.”
9 Then his brother’s wife shall approach him before the eyes of the elders and remove his shoe from his foot. And she shall spit before his face and answer [him] and say, “Thus shall be done to the man who will not build up his brother’s household!”
10 And that family shall be called in Israel, “The family of the one whose shoe was removed.”
11 If [two] men, a man and his brother, are fighting together, and the wife of one of them approaches to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she stretches forth her hand and grabs hold of his private parts
12 you shall cut off her hand You shall not have pity.
13 You shall not keep in your pouch two different weights, one large and one small.
14 You shall not keep in your house two different ephah measures, one large and one small.
15 [Rather,] you shall have a full and honest weight, [and] a full and honest ephah measure, in order that your days will be prolonged on the land which the Lord, your God, gives you.
16 For whoever does these things, whoever perpetrates such injustice, is an abomination to the Lord, your God.
17 You shall remember what Amalek did to you on the way, when you went out of Egypt,
18 how he happened upon you on the way and cut off all the stragglers at your rear, when you were faint and weary, and he did not fear God.
19 [Therefore,] it will be, when the Lord your God grants you respite from all your enemies around [you] in the land which the Lord, your God, gives to you as an inheritance to possess, that you shall obliterate the remembrance of Amalek from beneath the heavens. You shall not forget!

TORAH
(Law)
The book of Deuteronomy, also known as Devarim in Hebrew (“Words”), is the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament. It contains a series of speeches by Moses to the Israelites, just before they are about to enter the promised land, which summarize and expand upon many of the laws and commandments given in the earlier books of the Torah. The word Deuteronomy literally means “second law,” indicating that Moses is rehearsing the law with the Israelites before they enter the land.
The book is often seen as a sort of farewell address by Moses, containing some of his final instructions and blessings to the people he has led for many years. It emphasizes the importance of following G-d’s commandments and remaining faithful to Him, while warning against the dangers of disobedience and idolatry. Overall, Deuteronomy serves as a significant text in the history of Judaism and Christianity, containing many of the foundational beliefs and values of these religions.
