Hat sein Vater aber keine Brüder, so sollt ihr es den nächsten Blutsverwandten von seinem Geschlecht geben, daß sie es einnehmen. Das soll den Kindern Israel ein Gesetz und ein Recht sein - wie der Herr Mose geboten hat.
Und wenn sein Vater keine Brüder hat, so sollt ihr sein Erbteil seinem Blutsverwandten geben, dem ihm am nächsten stehenden aus seinem Geschlecht, daß er es erbe. Und das soll den Kindern Israel zu einer Rechtssatzung sein, so wie Jehova dem Mose geboten hat.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And if his father have no brethren,.... Nor any descending from them:
then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family: that is nearest of kin to him, though ever so remote; that is, of his father's family, not his mother's, which was no family:
and he shall possess it: here the Jews have a saying, that an Israelite is never without heirs y:
and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment; a judicial law, that should ever remain firm, and sure, and unalterable:
as the Lord commanded Moses; and therefore no man could dispose of his estate or inheritance by will, otherwise than is set forth by this command.
y Maimon. Hilchot Nechalot, c. 1. sect. 3.
