Saying, master, Moses wrote unto us
In ( Deuteronomy
25:5 ) where the substance of what follows is contained,
though not in express words:
if any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die
without
children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise
up
seed unto his brother;
the meaning of which is, that if a man died without issue, and
left a wife behind him, his next brother, if unmarried, was to
marry his wife, and the first child born of her, was to be
reckoned the deceased's, and to inherit his estate; (See Gill
on Matthew
22:24).
