In context
6 The first son she bears will carry on the name of the dead brother, so that his name will not be blotted out from Israel.
7 But if the man does not want to marry his brother’s widow, she is to go to the elders at the city gate and say, “My husband’s brother refuses to preserve his brother’s name in Israel. He is not willing to perform the duty of a brother-in-law for me.”
8 Then the elders of his city shall summon him and speak with him. If he persists and says, “I do not want to marry her,”
9 his brother’s widow shall go up to him in the presence of the elders, remove his sandal, spit in his face, and declare, “This is what is done to the man who will not maintain his brother’s line.”
10 And his family name in Israel will be called “The House of the Unsandaled.”
