28 Saying: Master, Moses wrote unto us: If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he leave no children, that his brother should take her to wife and raise up seed unto his brother.
29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife and died without children.
30 And the next took her to wife: and he also died childless.
31 And the third took her. And in like manner, all the seven: and they left no children and died.
32 Last of all the woman died also.
