Contemporary English Version
Don't Muzzle an Ox
Moses said to Israel:
4 (A) Don't muzzle an ox while it is threshing grain.[a]
A Son for a Dead Brother
Moses said to Israel:
5-6 (B) Suppose two brothers are living on the same property, when one of them dies without having a son to carry on his name. If this happens, his widow must not marry anyone outside the family. Instead, she must marry her late husband's brother, and their first son will be the legal son of the dead man.
