Deuteronomy 25:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ Forty stripes may be given him but not more, lest, if he should be beaten with many stripes, your brother should [be treated like a beast and] seem low and worthless to you.

⁴ You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.^(A)

⁵ If brothers live together and one of them dies and has no son, his wife shall not be married outside the family to a stranger [an excluded man]. Her husband’s brother shall go in to her and take her as his wife and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her.
