Thematic Bible: Obliged to contract with a brother's wife who died without seed


Thematic Bible



"Teacher, Moses said, "If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and have children for his brother.'

"When two brothers are living together and one of them dies without leaving a son, his widow must not be married outside the family to a foreigner. Instead, the brother-in-law must go to her, take her as his wife, and by doing so perform the duty of a brother-in-law.
