Context
6Mwana wa kwanza atakayemzaa atapewa jina la ndugu aliyekufa ili jina lake lisifutike katika Israeli. 7Hata hivyo, ikiwa ndugu huyo wa mume hataki kuoa huyo mke wa nduguye, mjane atawaendea wazee kwenye lango la mji na kusema, “Ndugu wa mume wangu anakataa kuendeleza jina la nduguye katika Israeli. Hataki kutimiza wajibu wa shemeji kwangu.” 8Ndipo wazee wa mji wake watamwita na kuzungumza naye. Kama atashikilia kukataa akisema, “Sitaki kumwoa,” 9mjane wa nduguye atamwendea mbele ya wazee, atamvua kiatu kimoja na kumtemea mate usoni, na kusema, “Hivi ndivyo ambavyo hufanywa kwa mtu ambaye atakataa kuendeleza jamaa ya ndugu yake.” 10Jamaa ya mtu huyo itafahamika katika Israeli kama Jamaa ya Aliyevuliwa Kiatu.
