Great(i) 5 Yf brethren dwell together, and one of them dye and haue no chylde, the wyfe of the deed shall not mary without vnto a straunger: but hys brother shall go in vnto her, and take her to wyfe, and occupye the rowme of his kynsman. 6 And the eldest sonne which she beareth, shall succede in the name of hys brother whych is deed, that his name be not put out of Israel. 7 And yf the man wyll not take hys brothers wyfe, then let her go vp to the gate vnto the elders, and saye: My husbandes brother refuseth to sterre vp vnto hys brother a name in Israel, nether will he marye me.
