Deuteronomy 25

11 When men strive together one with another and the wife of the one draws near to rescue her husband out of the hand of him who is beating him, and puts out her hand and seizes the other man by the private parts, 12 Then you shall cut off her hand; your eyes shall not pity her.

13 You shall not have in your bag true and false weights, a large and a small. 14 You shall not have in your house true and false measures, a large and a small. 15 But you shall have a perfect and just weight and a perfect and just measure, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God gives you. 16 For all who do such things, all who do unrighteously, are an abomination to the Lord your God.

17 Remember what Amalek did to you on the way when you had come forth from Egypt, 18 How he did not fear God, but when you were faint and weary he attacked you along the way and cut off all the stragglers at your rear. 19 Therefore when the Lord your God has given you rest from all your enemies round about in the land which the Lord your God gives you to possess as an inheritance, you shall blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens; you must not forget.
