• Deut 25:5-9 : 5 If brothers live together and one of them dies without a son, the dead man's wife must not be married outside the family to a stranger. Her brother-in-law is to take her as his wife and fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law to her. 6 The first son she bears shall carry on the name of the dead brother, so that his name is not blotted out of Israel. 7 But if the man does not wish to marry his brother's widow, she shall go to the elders at the city gate and say, 'My brother-in-law is refusing to perform his duty to preserve his brother's name in Israel. He is unwilling to marry me.' 8 Then the elders of his city shall summon him and speak to him. If he persists and says, 'I do not want to marry her,' 9 then his brother's widow shall approach him in the presence of the elders, remove his sandal from his foot, spit in his face, and declare, 'This is what is done to the man who will not build up his brother's family line.' 10 His family shall be known in Israel as 'The Family of the Unsandaled.'

You redeem it yourself. I cannot do it.' 7 Now in earlier times in Israel, to finalize a transaction concerning redemption or transfer of property, one party would take off their sandal and give it to the other. This was the method of legalizing transactions in Israel. 8 So the kinsman-redeemer said to Boaz, 'Buy it yourself,' and he removed his sandal. 9 Then Boaz said to the elders and all the people, 'Today you are witnesses that I have bought from Naomi all the property of Elimelech, Kilion, and Mahlon.' 10 I have also acquired Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, as my wife in order to maintain the name of the deceased on his inheritance, so that his name will not disappear from among his family or from the gate of his hometown. You are witnesses today. 11 All the people who were at the gate and the elders said, 'We are witnesses.
