Laws Concerning Levirate Marriage
5
1"If brothers dwell together, and one of them dies and has no son, the wife of the dead man shall not be married outside the family to a stranger. Her 2husband's brother shall go in to her and take her as his wife and perform the duty of a husband's brother to her.
6
And the first son whom she bears shall succeed to the name of his dead brother, that 3his name may not be blotted out of Israel.
7
And if the man does not wish to take his brother's wife, then his brother's wife shall 4go up to the gate to the elders and say, 'My husband's brother refuses to perpetuate his brother's name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband's brother to me.'
8
Then the elders of his city shall call him and speak to him, and if he persists, saying, 5'I do not wish to take her,'
9
then his brother's wife shall go up to him in the presence of the elders and 6pull his sandal off his foot and 7spit in his face. And she shall answer and say, 'So shall it be done to the man who does not 8build up his brother's house.'
10
And the name of his housea shall be called in Israel, 'The house of him who had his sandal pulled off.'
