Geneva⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ If brethren dwell together, and one of them dye and haue no sonne, the wife of the dead shall not marry without: that is, vnto a stranger, but his kinseman shall goe in vnto her, and take her to wife, and doe the kinsemans office to her. ⁶ And the first borne which she beareth, shall succeede in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel. ⁷ And if the man will not take his kinsewoman, then let his kinsewoman goe vp to the gate vnto the Elders, and say, My kinsman refuseth to rayse vp vnto his brother a name in Israel: hee will not doe the office of a kinsman vnto me. ⁸ Then the Elders of his citie shall call him, and commune with him: if he stand and say, I wil not take her, ⁹ Then shall his kinswoman come vnto him in the presence of the Elders, and loose his shooe from his foote, and spit in his face, and answere, and say, So shall it be done vnto that man, that will not buylde vp his brothers house. ¹⁰ And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him whose shooe is put off.
