Deuteronomy 25:5-9

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 haveH935 relationsH935 withH935 her and takeH3947 her to himself as his wifeH802, and performH2992 the dutyH2992 ofH2992 aH2992 husband’sH2992 brotherH2992 to her.

6It shall then be that the firstbornH1060 to whomH834 she givesH3205 birthH3205 shall 2assumeH6965 the nameH8034 of his father’s deceasedH4191 brotherH251, so that 3his nameH8034 will not be wipedH4229 outH4229 from IsraelH3478.

74But ifH518 the manH376 does not desireH2654 to takeH3947 his brother’sH2994 widowH2994, then his brother’sH2994 widowH2994 shall goH5927 upH5927 to the gateH8179 to the eldersH2205, and sayH559, ‘My husband’sH2993 brotherH2993 refusesH3985 to establishH6965 a nameH8034 for his brotherH251 in IsraelH3478; he isH14 not willingH14 to performH2992 the dutyH2992 ofH2992 aH2992 husband’sH2992 brotherH2992 to me.’

8Then the eldersH2205 of his cityH5892 shall summonH7121 him and speakH1696 to him. And if he persistsH5975 and saysH559, ‘I do not desireH2654 to takeH3947 her,’

95then his brother’sH251 widowH2994 shall comeH5066 upH5066 to him in the sightH5869 of the eldersH2205, and pullH2502 his sandalH5275 offH4480H5921 his footH7272 and 6spitH3417 in his faceH6440; and she shall 7declareH6030H559, ‘ThisH3602 isH3602 whatH3602 is doneH6213 to the manH376 whoH834 does not buildH1129 upH1129 his brother’sH251 houseH1004!’
