Luke 20:29 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:29

There were therefore seven brethren
In the place where these Sadducees dwelt; or, however, that were known by them; at least they supposed such a case, and it might be fact: and the first took a wife, and died without children;
son or daughter, and so had none to keep up his name, and to possess his inheritance.

Luke 20:29 In-Context

27 Some Tz'dukim, who say there is no resurrection, came to Yeshua

28 and put to him a sh'eilah: "Rabbi, Moshe wrote for us that if a man dies leaving a wife but no children, his brother must take the wife and have children to preserve the man's family line.

29 Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife and died child less,

30 then the second

31 and third took her, and likewise all seven, but they all died without leaving children.
