Deuteronomy 25:5

Deuteronomy 25:5 -

Dwell together ; i . e . not necessarily in the same house, but in the same community or place (cf. Genesis 13:6 ; Genesis 26:7 ). And have no child ; literally, have no son; but this is rightly interpreted as meaning child ( so the LXX .; Vulgate; Josephus, 'Antiq.,' 4.8, 23; Matthew 22:25 ; Maimon; 'In Jibbum.,' 2.6-9); for, if the deceased left a daughter, the perpetuation of the family and the retention of the property might be secured through her (cf. Numbers 27:4 , etc.).
