6 Then the first son she bears will continue the name of the dead brother, thus preventing his name from being blotted out of Israel. 7 But if the man does not want to marry his brother's widow, then she must go to the elders at the town gate and say, |My husband's brother refuses to preserve his brother's name in Israel; he is unwilling to perform the duty of a brother-in-law to me!| Deuteronomy 25:6-7, New English Translation.
