Deu 24:3 and if the latter husband turns against her and writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, or if the latter husband dies who took her to be his wife,

Deu 25:2 then it shall be if the wicked man deserves to be beaten, the judge shall then make him lie down and be beaten in his presence with the number of stripes according to his guilt.

Deu 25:4 "You shall not muzzle the ox while he is threshing.

Deu 25:13 "You shall not have in your bag differing weights, a large and a small.

Deu 25:14 You shall not have in your house differing measures, a large and a small.

Deu 25:15 You shall have a full and just weight; you shall have a full and just measure, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God gives you.

Deu 25:16 For everyone who does these things, everyone who acts unjustly is an abomination to the Lord your God.

Deu 25:17 "Remember what Amalek did to you along the way when you came out from Egypt,

Deu 25:18 how he met you along the way and attacked among you all the stragglers at your rear when you were faint and weary; and he did not fear God.

Deu 26:1 "Then it shall be, when you enter the land which the Lord your God gives you as an inheritance, and you possess it and live in it,

Deu 26:2 that you shall take some of the first of all the produce of the ground which you bring in from your land that the Lord your God gives you, and you shall put it in a basket and go to the place where the Lord your God chooses to establish His name.

Deu 26:3 You shall go to the priest who is in office at that time and say to him, 'I declare this day to the Lord my God that I have entered the land which the Lord swore to our fathers to give us.'

Deu 26:4 Then the priest shall take the basket from your hand and set it down before the altar of the Lord your God.

Deu 26:5 You shall answer and say before the Lord your God, 'My father was a wandering Aramean, and he went down to Egypt and sojourned there, few in number; but there he became a great, mighty and populous nation.

Deu 26:6 And the Egyptians treated us harshly and afflicted us, and imposed hard labor on us.

Deu 26:7 Then we cried to the Lord, the God of our fathers, and the Lord heard our voice and saw our affliction and our toil and our oppression;

Deu 26:8 and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm and with great terror and with signs and wonders;

Deu 26:9 and He has brought us to this place and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

Deu 26:10 Now behold, I have brought the first of the produce of the ground which You, O Lord have given me.' And you shall set it down before the Lord your God, and worship before the Lord your God;

Deu 26:11 and you and the Levite and the alien who is among you shall rejoice in all the good which the Lord your God has given you and your household.

Deu 26:12 "When you have finished paying all the tithe of your increase in the third year, the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite, to the stranger, to the orphan and to the widow, that they may eat in your towns and be satisfied.

Deu 26:13 You shall say before the Lord your God, 'I have removed the sacred portion from my house, and also have given it to the Levite and the alien, the orphan and the widow, according to all Your commandments which You have commanded me; I have not transgressed or forgotten any of Your commandments.

Deu 26:14 I have not eaten of it while mourning, nor have I removed any of it while I was unclean, nor offered any of it to the dead. I have listened to the voice of the Lord my God; I have done according to all that You have commanded me.

Deu 26:15 Look down from Your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless Your people Israel, and the ground which You have given us, a land flowing with milk and honey, as You swore to our fathers.'

Deu 26:16 "This day the Lord your God commands you to do these statutes and ordinances. You shall therefore be careful to do them with all your heart and with all your soul.

Deu 26:17 You have today declared the Lord to be your God, and that you would walk in His ways and keep His statutes, His commandments and His ordinances, and listen to His voice.

Deu 26:18 The Lord has today declared you to be His people, a treasured possession, as He promised you, and that you should keep all His commandments;

Deu 26:19 and that He will set you high above all nations which He has made, for praise, fame, and honor; and that you shall be a consecrated people to the Lord your God, as He has spoken."

--------

Deu 27:1 Then Moses and the elders of Israel charged the people, saying, "Keep all the commandments which I command you today.

Deu 27:2 So it shall be on the day when you cross the Jordan to the land which the Lord your God gives you, that you shall set up for yourself large stones and coat them with lime

Deu 27:3 and write on them all the words of this law, when you cross over, so that you may enter the land which the Lord your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, promised you.

Deu 27:4 So it shall be when you cross the Jordan, you shall set up on Mount Ebal, these stones, as I am commanding you today, and you shall coat them with lime.

Deu 27:5 Moreover, you shall build there an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones; you shall not wield an iron tool on them.

Deu 27:6 You shall build the altar of the Lord your God of uncut stones, and you shall offer on it burnt offerings to the Lord your God;

Deu 27:7 and you shall sacrifice peace offerings and eat there, and rejoice before the Lord your God.

Deu 27:8 You shall write on the stones all the words of this law very distinctly."

Deu 27:9 Then Moses and the Levitical priests spoke to all Israel, saying, "Be silent and listen, O Israel! This day you have become a people for the Lord your God.

Deu 27:10 You shall therefore obey the Lord your God, and do His commandments and His statutes which I command you today."

Deu 27:11 Moses also charged the people on that day, saying,

Deu 27:12 "When you cross the Jordan, these shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.

Deu 27:13 For the curse, these shall stand on Mount Ebal: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

Deu 27:14 The Levites shall then answer and say to all the men of Israel with a loud voice,

Deu 27:15 'Cursed is the man who makes an idol or a molten image, an abomination to the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret.' And all the people shall answer and say, 'Amen.'

Deu 27:21 'Cursed is he who lies with any animal.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'

Deu 27:22 'Cursed is he who lies with his sister, the daughter of his father or of his mother.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'

Deu 27:23 'Cursed is he who lies with his mother-in-law.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'

Deu 27:24 'Cursed is he who strikes his neighbor in secret.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'

Deu 27:25 'Cursed is he who accepts a bribe to strike down an innocent person.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'

Deu 27:26 'Cursed is he who does not confirm the words of this law by doing them.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'
