Deuteronomy 25:7-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ But if he will not take his brother's wife, who by law belongeth to him, the woman shall go to the gate of the city, and call upon the ancients, and say: My husband's brother refuseth to raise up his brother's name in Israel: and will not take me to wife.

⁸ And they shall cause him to be sent for forthwith, and shall ask him. If he answer: I will not take her to wife:

⁹ The woman shall come to him before the ancients, and shall take off his shoe from his foot, and spit in his face, and say: So shall it be done to the man that will not build up his brother's house:

¹⁰ And his name shall be called in Israel, the house of the unshod.
