Femte Moseboken 25:9

då ska hans svägerska gå fram till honom inför de äldste och dra skon av hans fot och spotta honom i ansiktet och säga: ”Så gör man med den man som inte vill bygga upp sin brors hus.”

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.
