if a married man dies without children, his brother shall marry the widow. if he refuses to marry his brother's widow or deliberately does not give her children, he shall pay a fine of one shoe and be otherwise punished in a manner to be determined by law. (Gen. 38:6-10; Deut 25:5-10)



is this what they mean by "waiting for the other shoe to drop?" there must be some correlation. must be.
