A MAN WITHOUT A SANDAL???

Here is more to discuss with family after dinner. Jewish tradition was that when a man passed away his brother would marry his widow. But just like in today's world i am sure there would be some opposition to that.Listen to this. If the Husbands brother refused to marry her,then they had a way to deal with that. The widow must go to the leaders of the city,and tell them of her brother-in-laws refusal to marry her. She must say he does not wish to continue his brothers name in Israel by marrying her. Then the leaders summon him to stand before them and explain himself. If he still resists then she is to take off one of his sandals and spit in his face! Then she has to speak these words."This is what happens to a man who refuses to continue his brothers family line"Then in Israel his family will be called the FAMILY OF THE MAN WITHOUT A SANDAL" Take that discussion on after you eat.(Deuteronomy chapter 25:verses 7-10) **** footnote: I must tell you to read verse 5 to understand the exact meaning of it all.
