Deuteronomy 25:7-9

7But ifH518 the manH376 does notH3808 wantH2654 to marryH3947 his brother’s widowH2994, sheH2994 is to goH5927 toH413 the eldersH2205 at the city gateH8179 and sayH559, “My husband’s brotherH2993 refusesH3985 to preserveH6965 his brother’sH251 nameH8034 in IsraelH3478. He is notH3808 willingH14 to perform the duty of a brother-in-law for meH2992.”

8Then the eldersH2205 of his cityH5892 shall summonH7121 him and speakH1696 with himH413. If he persistsH5975 and saysH559, “I do notH3808 wantH2654 to marry herH3947,” 9his brother’s widowH2994 shall go upH5066 to himH413 in the presenceH5869 of the eldersH2205, removeH2502 his sandalH5275, spitH3417 in his faceH6440H6030, and declareH559, “This is whatH3602 is doneH6213 to the manH376 whoH834 will notH3808 maintainH1129 his brother’sH251 lineH1004.”
