5 When brethren dwell together, and one of them is dead without free children, the wife of the dead brother shall not be wedded to another man, but his brother shall take her, and he shall raise the seed of his brother.
6 And he shall call her first begotten son by his name, that is, of the dead brother, that his name be not done away from Israel.
7 And if he will not take the wife of his brother, which is due to him by law, the woman shall go to the gate of the city; and she shall ask the greater men in birth, and she shall say to them, My husband’s brother will not raise the seed of his brother in Israel, neither he will take me into marriage.
8 And anon they shall make him to be called, and they shall ask him. If he answer, and say, I will not take her to wife;
9 the woman shall go to him before the elder men of Israel, and she shall take his shoe off from his foot, and she shall spit into his face, and she shall say to them, Thus it shall be done to the man, that buildeth not his brother’s house;
10 and his name shall be called in Israel, The house of the man unshod.
