Deuteronomy 25:5 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her. — Deuteronomy 25:5
