Parallel

Deuteronomy 25:5

Berean Standard Bible · Westminster Leningrad Codex

When brothers dwell together and one of them dies without a son, the widow must not marry outside the family. Her husband’s brother is to take her as his wife and fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law for her (note: Cited in Matthew 22:24, Mark 12:19, and Luke 20:28).
כִּֽי־ יֵשְׁב֨וּ אַחִ֜ים יַחְדָּ֗ו וּמֵ֨ת אַחַ֤ד מֵהֶם֙ וּבֵ֣ן אֵֽין־ ל֔וֹ לֹֽא־ תִהְיֶ֧ה אֵֽשֶׁת־ הַמֵּ֛ת הַח֖וּצָה לְאִ֣ישׁ זָ֑ר יְבָמָהּ֙ יָבֹ֣א עָלֶ֔יהָ וּלְקָחָ֥הּ ל֛וֹ לְאִשָּׁ֖ה וְיִבְּמָֽהּ׃
