Deuteronomy 25
The Lord thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about
Deuteronomy 25:1 If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto
judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous,
and condemn the wicked.
2 And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge
shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his
fault, by a certain number.
3 Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if he should exceed, and
beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto
thee.
4 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn.
5 If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife
of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall
go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an
husband's brother unto her.
6 And it shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the
name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel.
7 And if the man like not to take his brother's wife, then let his brother's
wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuseth
to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of
my husband's brother.
8 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he
stand to it, and say, I like not to take her;
9 Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and
loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and
say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's
house.
10 And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe
loosed.
11 When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth
near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and
putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:
12 Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her.
13 Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.
14 Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.
15 But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure
shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the Lord thy
God giveth thee.
16 For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an
abomination unto the Lord thy God.
17 Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of
Egypt;
18 How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, even all that
were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God.
19 Therefore it shall be, when the Lord thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an
inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek
from under heaven; thou shalt not forget it.

Blot out. Fulfilled in the time of Esther in 462
B.C.

Remembrance = Hebrew. zekar, not zakar, males;
as Joab seems to have understood it in 1 Kings
11:15,16.
-
1 Kings 11:15 For it came to pass, when David
was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host
was gone up to bury the slain, after he had
smitten every male in Edom;
16 (For six months did Joab
remain there with all Israel, until he had cut
off every male in Edom:)
-
Amalek = Compare 1 Samuel 15:2,3; Numbers 24:20.
-
1 Samuel 15:2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I
remember that which Amalek did to Israel,
how he laid wait for him in the way, when he
came up from Egypt.
3 Now go and smite Amalek, and
utterly destroy all that they have,
and spare them not; but slay both man and woman,
infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and
ass.
-
Numbers 24:20 And he looked on the Kenites, and
took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy
dwelling place, and thou puttest thy nest in a
rock.
22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted,
until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)

his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
