Deuteronomy 25:5-6

Good News Translation

Duty to a Dead Brother

^5 (A)“If two brothers live on the same property and one of them dies, leaving no son, then his widow is not to be married to someone outside the family; it is the duty of the dead man's brother to marry her. ⁶ The first son that they have will be considered the son of the dead man, so that his family line will continue in Israel.
