Then the elders of his city shall summon and speak with him. If he persists and says , “ I do not want to marry her , ”
his brother’s widow shall go up to him in the presence of the elders , remove his sandal - - , spit in his face , ... and declare , “ This is what is done to the man who will not maintain - his brother’s line. ”
And his family name in Israel will be called “ The House of the Unsandaled .... ”
