DEUTERONOMY 25

LAWS CONCERNING MARRIAGE 

Moses continues to give the Israelites various laws. One specific law refers to marriage in a very similar way to the situation in Genesis 38 with Tamar and Judah, “If brothers are living together and one of them dies without a son, his widow must not marry outside the family. Her husband’s brother shall take her and marry her and fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law to her” (v 5).
