Deuteronomy 25:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 [a]Forty stripes shall he cause him to have, and not past, lest if he should exceed and beat him above that with many stripes, thy brother should appear despised in thy sight.
4 ¶ (A)Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn.
5 ¶ (B)If brethren dwell together, and one of them die and have no son, the wife of the dead shall not marry without, that is, unto a stranger, but his [b]kinsman shall go in unto her, and take her to wife, and do the kinsman’s office to her.

- Deuteronomy 25:5 Because the Hebrew word signifieth not the natural brother, and the word that signifieth a brother, is taken also for a kinsman: it seemeth that it is not meant that the natural brother should marry his brother’s wife, but some other of the kindred that was in that degree which might marry.
