Verse 12 is found in chapter 25 of Deuteronomy. Measures against commercial deception are established, and Israel is commanded to erase the memory of Amalek because of its attack when the people were vulnerable. Honesty in transactions and memory of historical aggression appear together as matters of justice. Israel must remember both how it should behave toward its neighbors and the violence it suffered on the journey from Egypt.

so sollst du ihr die Hand abhauen, und dein Auge soll sie nicht verschonen.
La cortarás entonces la mano, no la perdonará tu ojo.
le cortarás la mano; no te compadecerás de ella.
tu lui couperas la main, tu ne jetteras sur elle aucun regard de pitié.
l’occhio tuo non le perdoni
Então cortar-lhe-ás a mão; não a poupará o teu olho.
你就要砍斷婦人的手,你的眼不可顧惜。
