וְאִם־אֵ֣ין אַחִים֮ לְאָבִיו֒ וּנְתַתֶּ֣ם אֶת־נַחֲלָתֹ֗ו לִשְׁאֵרֹ֞ו הַקָּרֹ֥ב אֵלָ֛יו מִמִּשְׁפַּחְתֹּ֖ו וְיָרַ֣שׁ אֹתָ֑הּ וְֽהָ֨יְתָ֜ה לִבְנֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ לְחֻקַּ֣ת מִשְׁפָּ֔ט כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר צִוָּ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה אֶת־מֹשֶֽׁה ׃ ס

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

kinsman: Leviticus 25:25, Leviticus 25:49, Ruth 4:3-6, Jeremiah 32:8

a statute: Numbers 35:29, 1 Samuel 30:25

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.
