Deuteronomy 25:8 in Context — Deuteronomy 25

6 Le premier-né qu’elle enfantera succédera au frère mort et portera son nom, afin que ce nom ne soit pas effacé d’Israël.

7 Si cet homme ne veut pas prendre sa belle-sœur, elle montera à la porte vers les anciens, et dira: Mon beau-frère refuse de relever en Israël le nom de son frère, il ne veut pas m’épouser par droit de beau-frère.

8 Les anciens de la ville l’appelleront, et lui parleront. S’il persiste, et dit: Je ne veux pas la prendre,

9 alors sa belle-sœur s’approchera de lui en présence des anciens, lui ôtera son soulier du pied, et lui crachera au visage. Et prenant la parole, elle dira: Ainsi sera fait à l’homme qui ne relève pas la maison de son frère.

10 Et sa maison sera appelée en Israël la maison du déchaussé.
