In ancient Israel, family names were significant as they were tied to one's identity, inheritance, and social standing. The concept of a family name being recognized in Israel underscores the communal nature of the society, where individual actions could impact the entire family line. This reflects the broader biblical theme of generational blessings and curses, as seen in passages like <a href="/exodus/20-5.htm">Exodus 20:5-6</a>.<p><b>will be called</b><br>The use of "will be called" suggests a formal declaration or recognition by the community. In biblical times, names and titles were often given to signify a person's character or actions. This public naming serves as a form of social accountability and reflects the communal values of ancient Israel, where public opinion and reputation were powerful forces.<p><b>“The House of the Unsandaled.”</b><br>This phrase refers to the specific cultural practice described earlier in <a href="/deuteronomy/25.htm">Deuteronomy 25</a>, where a man who refuses to fulfill his duty of levirate marriage is publicly shamed. The removal of a sandal was a symbolic act of disgrace and rejection, as sandals were associated with one's right to walk and claim land. This act of unsandaling is a public declaration of the man's failure to uphold his familial responsibilities. The concept of being "unsandaled" can be connected to the broader biblical theme of redemption and inheritance, as seen in the story of Ruth and Boaz (<a href="/ruth/4-7.htm">Ruth 4:7-8</a>), where the sandal exchange signifies the transfer of redemption rights. This also typologically points to Christ, who fulfills all righteousness and redeems His people, contrasting with the failure depicted in this passage.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_brother-in-law.htm">The Brother-in-Law (Levir)</a></b><br>In the context of <a href="/bsb/deuteronomy/25.htm">Deuteronomy 25</a>, the brother-in-law is expected to marry the widow of his deceased brother to preserve the family line.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_widow.htm">The Widow</a></b><br>The widow is the wife of the deceased brother, who is left without a child to carry on her husband's name.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_elders_of_the_city.htm">The Elders of the City</a></b><br>They are the leaders who oversee the legal and social matters within the community, including the levirate marriage process.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_house_of_the_unsandaled.htm">The House of the Unsandaled</a></b><br>This term refers to the family that refuses to fulfill the levirate marriage duty, resulting in a public act of shame.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The nation of Israel, where these laws and customs are practiced, emphasizing the importance of family lineage and community responsibility.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/p/preservation_of_family_lineage.htm">Preservation of Family Lineage</a></b><br>The importance of family and legacy is emphasized in this passage, highlighting the cultural and spiritual significance of maintaining a family name in Israel.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/community_responsibility.htm">Community Responsibility</a></b><br>The community plays a role in ensuring that family duties are fulfilled, reflecting the collective responsibility to uphold God's laws.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/consequences_of_neglect.htm">Consequences of Neglect</a></b><br>The public shaming of "The House of the Unsandaled" serves as a deterrent against neglecting familial duties, illustrating the social and spiritual consequences of disobedience.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/redemption_and_restoration.htm">Redemption and Restoration</a></b><br>The concept of levirate marriage points to the broader biblical theme of redemption and restoration, as seen in the account of Ruth and Boaz.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/o/obedience_to_god's_commands.htm">Obedience to God's Commands</a></b><br>This passage underscores the importance of obedience to God's commands, even when they challenge personal desires or societal norms.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_deuteronomy_25.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Deuteronomy 25</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_'rightly_dividing'_mean.htm">What is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_levirate_marriage_conflict_biblically.htm">Deuteronomy 25:5-10: Does the levirate marriage requirement conflict with other Biblical passages on remarriage or widows?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_jer._35_7_align_with_num._33_53.htm">Jeremiah 35:7 -
