Continuing the family name

Deu 25:5–10

25:5 Continuing the family name

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.

Rut 4:7-8:

7 (At that time in Yisrael (Israel), people had a different way of buying land or exchanging goods between them. In order to make these matters legally binding, one man would take off one of his sandals and give it to the other party.[ref] That was the way people in Yisrael confirmed what they had agreed to do.)

8 “You buy it yourself,” the relative said and he took off one of his sandals and gave it to Boaz.
