Deuteronomy 25:5-7
5“WhenH3588 brothersH251 liveH3427 togetherH3164 and oneH259 of them diesH4191 and hasH369 noH369 sonH1121, the wifeH802 of the deceasedH4191 shall not be married outsideH2351 the family to a strangeH2114 manH376. 1Her husband’sH2993 brotherH2993 shall goH935 in to her and takeH3947 her to himself as wifeH802 and performH2992 the dutyH2992 of a husband’sH2992 brotherH2992 to her.
6It shall be that the firstbornH1060 whomH834 she bearsH3205 shall 2assumeH6965 the nameH8034 of his deadH4191 brotherH251, so that 3his nameH8034 will not be blottedH4229 out from IsraelH3478.
74But ifH518 the manH376 does not desireH2654 to takeH3947 his brother’sH2994 wifeH2994, then his brother’sH2994 wifeH2994 shall goH5927 up to the gateH8179 to the eldersH2205 and sayH559, ‘My husband’sH2993 brotherH2993 refusesH3985 to establishH6965 a nameH8034 for his brotherH251 in IsraelH3478; he is not willingH14 to performH2992 the dutyH2992 of a husband’sH2992 brotherH2992 to me.’
