Deuteronomy 25 · Grade 3

Honest Measures

Name Date

Read the Story

When judges punished a guilty man, they could give no more than forty stripes. They must not shame their brother too much.

Israel must not muzzle the ox while it treads out the grain. If a man died with no son, his brother would marry the widow, so the dead man's name would not be lost. If the brother refused, the widow took off his sandal before the elders.

Israel must not keep a heavy weight and a light one, or a large measure and a small one. God wanted perfect and just weights. Moses also told them to remember how Amalek struck the weak and weary at the back of the line when Israel came out of Egypt.

Memory Verse

“You shall have a perfect and just weight. You shall have a perfect and just measure, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.”

Deuteronomy 25 · Grade 4

Fairness in Every Part of Life

Name Date

Read and Think

Deuteronomy 25 limits punishment to forty stripes. Then a guilty brother would not be shamed too much. Even wrongdoers kept their dignity. The ox treading grain must not be muzzled. Paul used this verse to say that workers deserve to be paid (1 Corinthians 9:9).

A brother could marry his dead brother's widow. This cared for her and kept the dead man's name alive. Boaz later helped Ruth in a similar way. Jesus came from that family (Matthew 1:5).

Honest business was worship. Israel must not keep two weights, one heavy and one light. God hated false scales. Finally, Israel must remember Amalek, who attacked the weak at the rear and did not fear God. God judged Amalek for attacking the weak.

Show What You Know

  1. Why were stripes limited to forty?

  2. How did Paul use the ox law?

  3. What did a brother marrying the widow do?

  4. Why did God judge Amalek?

Deuteronomy 25 · Grade 5

Just Weights and the Weak

Name Date

Read and Think

Deuteronomy 25 continues Moses' laws of justice. Judges must justify the righteous and condemn the wicked. Physical punishment was capped at forty stripes, lest your brother be degraded in your sight. Even a guilty person remained a brother whose dignity God protected.

The ox treading out grain must not be muzzled. Paul applies this to people: the worker deserves his wages (1 Corinthians 9:9; 1 Timothy 5:18). The law of levirate marriage required a brother to marry his childless brother's widow and raise up a name for the dead. Refusal brought public shame, the removal of a sandal. Boaz acted as a kinsman redeemer for Ruth, and through that line came David and Jesus.

Merchants must not carry two weights, one heavy and one light, for buying and selling dishonestly. God demands a perfect and just weight; all who deal unrighteously are an abomination to Him. The chapter closes by recalling Amalek, who attacked Israel's feeble stragglers and did not fear God. Israel was to blot out Amalek's memory, God's judgment on a nation that preyed on the weak.

  1. How did the forty stripe limit protect dignity?

  3. What did levirate marriage require?

  4. What does God demand in business?

  5. Why was Amalek judged?
