'Offspring' in the Bible

asking, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother as next of kin shall marry his wife, and raise up children for his brother.’

Now there were seven brothers with us; and the first married and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother;

“Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves behind a wife and leaves no child, his brother should marry the wife and raise up children to his brother.

There were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died leaving no children.

The second one married her, and died leaving behind no children; and the third likewise;

From the descendants of this man, according to promise, God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus,

for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’
