*
And if the man like not to take his brother '
s wife ,
then let his brother '
s wife go up to the gate unto the elders ,
and say ,
My husband '
s brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel ,
he will not perform the duty of my husband '
s brother .
*
Then the elders of his city shall call him ,
and speak unto him :
and if he stand to it ,
and say ,
I like not to take her ;
*
Then shall his brother '
s wife come unto him in the presence of the elders ,
and loose his shoe from off his foot ,
and spit in his face ,
and shall answer and say ,
So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother '
s house .
