There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave {his} wife {behind him}, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.

And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband.
