5 If some brothers live on the same property and one of them dies without leaving a son, then the widow mustn’t marry outside of the family. Her brother-in-law must take her as a wife for himself and perform the duty of a brother-in-law.[ref] 6 If she gives birth to a son in due course, he’ll be considered as the son of the brother who died, so that his family name won’t disappear from Yisrael (Israel). 7 But if the dead man’s brother doesn’t want to marry the widow, she must go to the elders at the city gate and explain that her brother-in-law is refusing to do his duty to preserve the dead brother’s family name in Yisrael. 8 Then those elders must summon the brother and talk to him. However, if he really doesn’t want to marry her, 9 then his late brother’s wife must go up to him in front of those elders, and take his sandal off his foot[ref] and spit in his face. Then she must say, ‘That’s what happens to a man who won’t strengthen his brother’s family.’ 10 After that, the brother will be known in Yisrael as the man who had his sandal taken off.
