Continuing the family name

Deu 25:5–10

5If 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] 6If 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. 7But 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.[ref] 8Then those elders must summon the brother and talk to him. However, if he really doesn’t want to marry her, 9then his late brother’s wife must go up to him in front of those elders, and take his sandal off his foot and spit in his face. Then she must say, ‘That’s what happens to a man who won’t strengthen his brother’s family.’ 10After that, the brother will be known in Yisrael as the man who had his sandal taken off.
