Deuteronomy - 25:9 Meaning

“Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's house.”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

25:5-12 The custom here regulated seems to have been in the Jewish law in order to keep inheritances distinct; now it is unlawful.

“And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.”
