<03205> (8799)

shall succeed
<06965> (8799)

in the name

<04191> (8801)_,

that his name

like
<02654> (8799)

<03947> (8800)

his brother's wife
<02994>_,

<06965> (8687)

unto his brother
<0251>

<014> (8804)

not perform the duty of my husband's brother

[to it], and say
<0559> (8804)_,

I like
<02654> (8804)

come

unto him in the presence
<05869>

of the elders
<02205>_,

his shoe
<05275>

from off his foot
<07272>_,

and spit
<03417> (8804)

in his face
<06440>_,

and shall answer
<06030> (8804)

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

So shall it be done
<06213> (8735)

unto that man
<0376>

that will not build up
<01129> (8799)

his brother's
<0251>

house
<01004>_.
