Gen Z: Deuteronomy 25
1If there's drama between peeps and they hit up the judge, the judges gotta keep it real; they’ll back the righteous and call out the wicked.
2If a wicked dude deserves a beatdown, the judge will have him lay down and take it right there, based on what he did, with a set number of hits.
3He can only give him forty stripes, no cap: if he goes overboard and beats him too much, it’ll just make your bro look bad.
4Don’t put a muzzle on the ox while it’s grinding the corn, that’s sus.
5If brothers are living together and one dies without kids, the dead guy's wife can’t just marry someone random; his bro needs to step up and take her as his wife, doing his bro duties.
6The first kid she has will carry on the name of the dead bro, so his name doesn’t fade from Israel, periodt.
7If the dude isn’t down to take his bro’s wife, she should go to the gate and tell the elders, "My husband’s bro is being a no-show about raising a name for my husband."
8Then the city elders will call him and talk it out; if he’s like, “Nah, I don’t wanna take her,”
9His bro’s wife will come to him in front of the elders, take off his shoe, spit in his face, and say, “This is what happens to a dude who won’t build up his bro’s house.”
10His name will be known in Israel as "The house of the guy who had his shoe taken off."
11When guys are throwing hands and one’s wife tries to save her man from the one hitting him, putting her hand out and grabbing him where it hurts:
12You gotta cut off her hand; don’t feel sorry for her, fr.
13Don’t have different weights in your bag, that’s shady.
14Don’t keep different measures in your house, that’s also sus.
15Just have straight-up weights and measures, so you can live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
16Anyone doing this stuff or acting unrighteous is an abomination to the Lord your God, for real.
17Remember what Amalek did to you on the way when you were leaving Egypt;
18How he ambushed you and hit the weak ones at the back when you were tired and worn out, and he didn’t fear God.
19So when the Lord your God gives you rest from all your enemies in the land He’s giving you to inherit, make sure to wipe Amalek’s name from under heaven; don’t forget it, no cap.
