Deuteronomy 25:5-9
5IfH3588 brethrenH251 dwellH3427 togetherH3162, and one of them dieH4191, and have noH3808 sonH1121, the wifeH802 of the deadH4191 shall notH3808 marryH3947 withoutH3808 unto a stranger: herH3947 husband’sH2993 brotherH251 shall goH935 in unto herH3947, and takeH3947 herH3947 to him to wifeH802, and performH2992 the dutyH2992 of an husband’sH2993 brotherH251 unto herH3947.
6And it shall be, that the firstbornH1060 whichH834 sheH834 beareth shall succeedH6965 in the nameH8034 of his brotherH251 whichH834 is deadH4191, that his nameH8034 be notH3808 blotted outH5921 of IsraelH3478.
7And ifH518 the manH376 like notH3808 to takeH3947 his brother’sH251 wifeH2994, then his brother’sH251 wifeH2994 shall goH5927 upH5927 to the gateH8179 unto the eldersH2205, and sayH559, My husband’sH2993 brotherH251 refuseth to raiseH6965 upH5927 unto his brotherH251 a nameH8034 in IsraelH3478, he will notH3808 performH2992 the dutyH2992 of an husband’sH2993 brotherH251 unto meH413.
8Then the eldersH2205 of his cityH5892 shall callH7121 him, and speakH1696 unto him: and if he standH5975, and sayH559, I like notH3808 to takeH3947 herH413;
9then shall his brother’sH251 wifeH2994 comeH5066 unto him in the presenceH6440 of the eldersH2205, and looseH5921 his shoeH5275 from offH5921 his footH7272, and spitH3417 in his faceH6440; and sheH834 shall answerH6030 and sayH559, SoH6213 shall it be doneH6213 unto the manH376 that doth notH3808 buildH1129 upH5921 his brother’sH251 houseH1004.
