And his family name
The phrase "family name" in Hebrew is "shem," which signifies more than just a label; it embodies reputation, character, and legacy. In ancient Israel, a family name was a crucial part of one's identity and social standing. It was a reflection of one's heritage and the values upheld by the family. The importance of a family name in Israelite culture underscores the gravity of the situation described in this verse, where a family name could be altered due to actions that were seen as dishonorable.

in Israel
The term "Israel" refers to the chosen people of God, the descendants of Jacob, who was renamed Israel. This phrase situates the verse within the covenant community, emphasizing that the laws and customs being discussed are not just societal norms but are divinely ordained for the people of God. It highlights the communal aspect of the law, where individual actions have implications for the entire community.

will be called
The phrase "will be called" indicates a formal declaration or renaming. In the Hebrew context, names and titles were often given to reflect one's actions or character. This renaming serves as a public acknowledgment of the individual's actions and their consequences. It is a reminder of the power of words and names in shaping identity and legacy.

‘The House of the Unsandaled.’
This phrase refers to a specific cultural practice described earlier in Deuteronomy 25, where a man who refuses to fulfill his duty of levirate marriage is publicly shamed by having his sandal removed. The "House of the Unsandaled" becomes a symbolic title of disgrace, marking the family as one that failed to uphold its responsibilities. The removal of the sandal is a powerful symbol of rejection and dishonor, as sandals were associated with one's right to walk and claim land. This act of unsandaling signifies a loss of standing and respect within the community. The public nature of this renaming serves as a deterrent, reinforcing the importance of familial duty and the social consequences of neglecting it.
