Deuteronomy 25:10
8 Then the elders of his city shall summon him and speak with him. If he persists and says, “I do not want to marry her,”
9 his brother’s widow shall go up to him in the presence of the elders, remove his sandal, spit in his face, and declare, “This is what is done to the man who will not maintain his brother’s line.”
And his family name in Israel will be called “The House of the Unsandaled.”
11 If two men are fighting, and the wife of one steps in to rescue her husband from the one striking him, and she reaches out her hand and grabs his genitals,
12 you are to cut off her hand. You must show her no pity.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
