5If brethrenH251 dwellH3427 togetherH3162, and oneH259 of them dieH4191, and have no childH1121, the wifeH802 of the deadH4191 shall not marry withoutH2351 unto a strangerH2114H376: her husband’s brotherH2993 shall go inH935 unto her, and takeH3947 her to him to wifeH802, and perform the duty of an husband’s brotherH2992 unto her.1 6And it shall be, that the firstbornH1060 which she bearethH3205 shall succeedH6965 in the nameH8034 of his brotherH251 which is deadH4191, that his nameH8034 be not put outH4229 of IsraelH3478. 7And if the manH376 likeH2654 not to takeH3947 his brother’s wifeH2994, then let his brother’s wifeH2994 go upH5927 to the gateH8179 unto the eldersH2205, and sayH559, My husband’s brotherH2993 refusethH3985 to raise upH6965 unto his brotherH251 a nameH8034 in IsraelH3478, he willH14 not perform the duty of my husband’s brotherH2992.2 8Then the eldersH2205 of his cityH5892 shall callH7121 him, and speakH1696 unto him: and if he standH5975 to it, and sayH559, I likeH2654 not to takeH3947 her; 9Then shall his brother’s wifeH2994 comeH5066 unto him in the presenceH5869 of the eldersH2205, and looseH2502 his shoeH5275 from off his footH7272, and spitH3417 in his faceH6440, and shall answerH6030 and sayH559, So shall it be doneH6213 unto that manH376 that will not build upH1129 his brother’sH251 houseH1004.
