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 brotherH2992.1

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.
