Men dersom hans far ingen brødre har, så skal I gi hans arv til den nærmeste frende i ætten; han skal arve den. Dette skal være gjeldende rett blandt Israels barn, således som Herren har befalt Moses.

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.
