1Co 6:19 Or do you not know that your body is the
Dwelling Place of the Set-apart Spirit who is in you, which you have from
Elohim, and you are not your own?
1Co 6:20 For you were bought with a price,
therefore esteem Elohim in your body and in your spirit,[b] which are of
Elohim.
Deu
24:19 “When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a
sheaf in the field, do not go back to get it. Let it be for the stranger, for
the fatherless, and for the widow, so that יהוה your Elohim might bless you in all the work of your
hands.
Deu

Mitsrayim. Therefore I am commanding you to do this word.
Deu

there is a dispute between men, then they shall come unto judgment, and they
shall be judged, and the righteous declared righteous and the wrongdoer
declared wrong.
Deu 25:2
“And it shall be, if the wrongdoer is to be struck, that the judge shall cause
him to lie down and be struck in his presence with the number of blows
according to his wrong.

Laws
Concerning Levirate Marriage
Deu
25:5 “When brothers dwell together, and one of them has died, and has no
son, the widow of the dead man shall not become a stranger’s outside. Her
husband’s brother does go in to her, and shall take her as his wife, and
perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her.
Deu
25:6 “And it shall be that the first-born son which she bears does rise
up for the name of his dead brother, so that his name is not blotted out of
Yisra’ěl.
Deu
25:7 “But if the man does not desire to take his brother’s wife, then let
his brother’s wife go up to the gate to the elders, and say, ‘My husband’s
brother refuses to raise up a name to his brother in Yisra’ěl, he does not
agree to perform the duty of my husband’s brother.’
Deu
25:8 “The elders of his city shall then call him and speak to him, and he
shall stand and say, ‘I have no desire to take her,’
Deu
25:9 then his brother’s wife shall come to him in the presence of the
elders, and remove his sandal from his foot, and shall spit in his face, and answer
and say, ‘Thus it is done to the man who does not build up his brother’s
house.’
Deu
25:10 “And in Yisra’ěl his name shall be called, ‘The house of him who
had his sandal removed.’
Miscellaneous
Laws
Deu
25:11 “When men fight with one another, a man and his brother, and the
wife of one shall draw near to rescue her husband from the hand of the one
striking him, and shall put out her hand and take hold of him by the
genitals,
Deu
25:12 then you shall cut off her hand – your eye does not pardon.
How would you feel if your right to produce life was
taken away from you? This applies to both the man with the ‘’crushed testicles’’
and the widow who is shunned by her brother in law.
Deu
25:13 “You shall not have in your bag differing weights, a heavy and a
light.
Deu
25:14 “You shall not have in your house differing measures, a large and a

your Elohim.

of Mitsrayim,
Deu
25:18 how he met you on the way and attacked your back, all the feeble
ones in your rear, when you were tired and weary. And he did not fear
Elohim. (Obadiah 1)
Deu
25:19 “Therefore it shall be, when יהוה your Elohim has given you rest from your enemies all around, in
the land which יהוה
your Elohim is giving you to possess as an inheritance, that you blot out the
remembrance of Amalěq from under the heavens. Do not forget!
Rev
18:4 And I heard another voice from the heaven saying, "Come out of
her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her
plagues.
Baruch atah YHVH, Eloheynu, Melech ha-‘Olam, asher natan

our midst. Blessed are you, YHVH giver of the Torah – Ameyn.)
