<02351>

<0376> <02114> (8801)_:
her husband's brother
<02993>

<0935> (8799)

and perform the duty of an husband's brother
<02992> (8762)

<01060>
which she beareth
<03205> (8799)
shall succeed
<06965> (8799)
in the name
<08034>

<0251>
[which is] dead
<04191> (8801)_,
that his name
<08034>
be not put out
<04229> (8735)

<03478>_.
And if the man
<0376>
like
<02654> (8799)
not to take
<03947> (8800)
his brother's wife
<02994>_,
then let his brother's wife
<02994>
go up
<05927> (8804)
to the gate
<08179>
unto the elders
<02205>_,
and say
<0559> (8804)_,
My husband's brother
<02993>
refuseth
<03985> (8765)
to raise up
<06965> (8687)
unto his brother
<0251>
a name
<08034>

he will
<014> (8804)
not perform the duty of my husband's brother
<02992> (8763)_.
{brother's: or, next kinsman's}
Then the elders
<02205>
of his city
<05892>
shall call
<07121> (8804)
him, and speak
<01696> (8765)
unto him: and [if] he stand
<05975> (8804)
[to it], and say
<0559> (8804)_,
I like
<02654> (8804)
not to take
<03947> (8800)
her;
Then shall his brother's wife
<02994>
come
<05066> (8738)
unto him in the presence
<05869>
of the elders
<02205>_,
and loose
<02502> (8804)
his shoe
<05275>
from off his foot
<07272>_,
and spit
<03417> (8804)
in his face
<06440>_,
and shall answer
<06030> (8804)
and say
<0559> (8804)_,
So shall it be done
<06213> (8735)
unto that man
<0376>
that will not build up
<01129> (8799)
his brother's
<0251>
house
<01004>_.
And his name
<08034>
shall be called
<07121> (8738)
in Israel
<03478>_,
The house
<01004>
of him that hath his shoe
<05275>
loosed
<02502> (8803)_.
