And it shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel.

Verse 6 is found in chapter 25 of Deuteronomy. Discipline by beating must be administered within specific limits to preserve the dignity of the person being punished. The ox working on the threshing floor is also protected, and family responsibility is regulated through the law of levirate marriage. These apparently diverse regulations share a concern to prevent abuse and preserve responsibilities within the community.

Und den ersten Sohn, den sie gebiert, soll er bestätigen nach dem Namen seines verstorbenen Bruders, daß sein Name nicht vertilgt werde aus Israel.
Y será que el primogénito que pariere ella, se levantará en nombre de su hermano el muerto, porque el nombre de éste no sea raído de Israel.
El primogénito que ella dé a luz perpetuará el nombre del hermano difunto, para que su nombre no sea borrado de Israel.
Le premier-né qu'elle enfantera succédera au frère mort et portera son nom, afin que ce nom ne soit pas effacé d'Israël.
E il primogenito ch’ella partorirà, nasca a nome del fratello morto del marito; acciocchè il suo nome non sia spento in Israele.
E o primogênito que ela lhe der será sucessor do nome do seu irmão falecido, para que o seu nome não se apague em Israel.
婦人生的長子要歸在已故兄弟的名下,免得他的名在 以色列 中塗去了。
