05:024:017 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of
           the fatherless; nor take a widow’s raiment to pledge: 

05:024:018 But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and
           the lord thy God redeemed thee thence:  therefore I command
           thee to do this thing.

05:024:019 When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast
           forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch
           it:  it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for
           the widow:  that the lord thy God may bless thee in all the
           work of thine hands.

05:024:020 When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the
           boughs again:  it shall be for the stranger, for the
           fatherless, and for the widow.

05:024:021 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not
           glean it afterward:  it shall be for the stranger, for the
           fatherless, and for the widow.

05:024:022 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land
           of Egypt:  therefore I command thee to do this thing.

05:025:001 If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto
           judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall
           justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.

05:025:002 And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten,
           that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten
           before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number.

05:025:003 Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed:  lest, if he
           should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes,
           then thy brother should seem vile unto thee.

05:025:004 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn.

05:025:005 If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no
           child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a
           stranger:  her husband’s brother shall go in unto her, and take
           her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband’s
           brother unto her.

05:025:006 And it shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth shall
           succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his
           name be not put out of Israel.

05:025:007 And if the man like not to take his brother’s wife, then let
           his brother’s wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say,
           My husband’s brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a
           name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband’s
           brother.

05:025:008 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto
           him:  and if he stand to it, and say, I like not to take her;
