King James Version KJV
New International Version NIV
19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
19
“Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.
20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
20
Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died without leaving any children.
21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
21
The second one married the widow, but he also died, leaving no child. It was the same with the third.
22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
22
In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too.
