Deuteronomy 25:5-7

Revised Geneva Translation

⁵ “If brothers dwell together, and one of them dies and has no son, the wife of the dead shall not marry outside, to a stranger. But, his kinsman shall go in to her, and take her to wife, and do the kinsman’s office to her.

⁶ “And the firstborn which she bears shall succeed in the name of his dead brother, so that his name is not put out of Israel.

⁷ “And if the man will not take his kinswoman, then let his kinswoman go up to the gate, to the elders, and say, ‘My kinsman refuses to raise up to his brother a name in Israel. He will not do the office of a kinsman to me.’
