If there be a dispute between anashim, and they come unto hamishpat (the court) that the shofetim may judge them; then they shall justify the tzaddik (i.e., declare him to be in the right), and condemn the guilty.

וְהָיָ֛ה - אִם־ SDBH If בִּ֥ן SDBH . . . הַכּ֖וֹת SDBH deserves to be beaten הָרָשָׁ֑ע SDBH the guilty man וְהִפִּיל֤וֹ SDBH shall have him lie down הַשֹּׁפֵט֙ SDBH the judge וְהִכָּ֣הוּ SDBH and be flogged לְפָנָ֔יו in his presence כְּדֵ֥י SDBH of lashes רִשְׁעָת֖וֹ SDBH his crime warrants בְּמִסְפָּֽר׃ SDBH with the number
And it shall be, if the reshah be worthy to be beaten, that the shofet shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten in his presence, according to his fault, by a certain number.
Arba'im he may give him, and not exceed; lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with makkah rabbah (many stripes), then thy brother would be degraded in your sight.

If achim dwell together, and one of them die, and ben ain lo (have no child), the eshet hamet (wife of the dead) shall not marry outside unto an ish zar (strange man); her yevam (deceased husband's brother) shall go in unto her, and take her to him as a wife, and perform the levirate marriage.
And it shall be, that the bechor which she beareth shall succeed in the shem of his brother which is dead, that shmo be not blotted out from Yisroel [SEE RUTH].

And if the ish like not to take his brother's isha, then let his brother's isha go up to the sha'ar unto the zekenim, and say, My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a shem in Yisroel, he will not perform the levirate marriage with me.

Then the zekenim of his town shall call him, and speak unto him; and if he stand to it, and say, I like not to take her;
Then shall his brother's isha come unto him in the presence of the zekenim, and remove his sandal from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that ish that will not build up the bais achiv (the house of his brother).

וְנִקְרָ֥א SDBH will be called שְׁמ֖וֹ SDBH And his family name בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל SDBH in Israel בֵּ֖ית SDBH The House חֲל֥וּץ SDBH . . . הַנָּֽעַל׃ס SDBH of the Unsandaled
And shmo shall be called in Yisroel, The bais of him that hath his sandal loosed.
When anashim strive together one with another, and the eshet (wife) of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that striketh him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the private parts,
12
וְקַצֹּתָ֖ה SDBH you are to cut off אֶת־ SDBH - כַּפָּ֑הּ SDBH her hand לֹ֥א SDBH vvv תָח֖וֹס SDBH You must show her no pity עֵינֶֽךָ׃ס SDBH . . .
Then thou shalt cut off her kaf (palm, hollow or flat of the hand), thine eye shall not pity her.

כִּ֧י For תוֹעֲבַ֛ת SDBH is detestable יְהוָ֥ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ SDBH your G-d כָּל־ everyone עֹ֣שֵׂה SDBH - אֵ֑לֶּה SDBH in regard to these things כֹּ֖ל - עֹ֥שֵׂה SDBH who behaves עָֽוֶל׃פ SDBH dishonestly
For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are a to'evah (abomination) unto Hashem Eloheicha.
Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of Mitzrayim;
How he met thee by the way, and struck your rear ranks, even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not Elohim.
Therefore it shall be, when Hashem Eloheicha hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in ha'aretz which Hashem Eloheicha giveth thee for a nachalah to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under Shomayim; thou shalt not forget it. [KI TAVO]
