Deuteronomy 25:3-5
Lexham English Bible
3 He may beat him with forty lashes, and he shall not do more than these, so that he will not beat more in addition to these many blows,[a] and your countryman[b] would be[c] degraded before your eyes.
4 “You shall not muzzle an ox when he is threshing.[d]
5 “When brothers dwell together and one of them dies and has no son, the wife of the deceased shall not become the wife of a man of another family;[e] her brother-in-law shall have sex with her,[f] and he shall take her to himself[g] as a wife, and he shall perform his duty as a brother-in-law with respect to her.
