Context — Widowhood and Marriage
4Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.
5When brothers dwell together and one of them dies without a son, the widow must not marry outside the family. Her husband’s brother is to take her as his wife and fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law for her.
6The first son she bears will carry on the name of the dead brother, so that his name will not be blotted out from Israel.
7But if the man does not want to marry his brother’s widow, she is to go to the elders at the city gate and say, “My husband’s brother refuses to preserve his brother’s name in Israel. He is not willing to perform the duty of a brother-in-law for me.” 8Then the elders of his city shall summon him and speak with him.

Deuteronomy 25:6 Summary
This verse is talking about a law that helps make sure a family's name and legacy continue even if a brother dies without having any children. The first son born to the widow and her new husband is to be considered the son of the deceased brother, so his name and memory are preserved (see also Genesis 38:8). This law shows how important family and legacy were in biblical times, and it reminds us to care for and honor those who have come before us, just as we see in the example of Ruth 4:5. By preserving family legacy, we can show respect and gratitude for those who have paved the way for us.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the law in Deuteronomy 25:6?
The law in Deuteronomy 25:6 is to ensure that the name of the deceased brother is not forgotten and that his family line continues, as seen in the importance of preserving family names in Genesis 38:8 and Ruth 4:5.
Why is the first son required to carry on the name of the dead brother?
The first son is required to carry on the name of the dead brother to preserve his memory and inheritance, reflecting the cultural and spiritual significance of family and legacy in biblical times, as noted in Deuteronomy 25:5-6 and Numbers 27:4.
Is this law still applicable today?
While the specific law in Deuteronomy 25:6 may not be directly applicable today, the principle of honoring and preserving family legacy is still relevant, as seen in the New Testament emphasis on caring for widows and orphans in James 1:27 and Acts 6:1-6.
How does this law relate to the concept of inheritance?
The law in Deuteronomy 25:6 highlights the importance of preserving inheritance and family property, as also seen in Numbers 36:7-9 and Ezekiel 46:16-18, emphasizing the responsibility to care for and manage the resources and legacy entrusted to us.
Reflection Questions

- How can I apply the principle of preserving family legacy in my own life and relationships?
- What does this law say about the importance of remembering and honoring those who have come before us?
- In what ways can I balance the desire to preserve family legacy with the need to forge my own path and identity?

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Deuteronomy 25:6
In the name of his brother; shall be called and reputed his son. See . That his name be not put out of Israel; that a family be not lost. So this was a provision that the number of their families might not be diminished.
Trapp's Commentary on Deuteronomy 25:6
Deuteronomy 25:6 And it shall be, [that] the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother [which is] dead, that his name be not put out of Israel.Ver. 6. The first born.] Provided that he be a son; as appears by the reason here given, that his name be not put out of Israel. It signified the birthright of Christ that should never die. "He shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days." Filiabitur nomen eius The name of Christ shall endure for ever; it shall be begotten as one generation is begotten of another; there shall be a succession of Christ’ s name.
Ellicott's Commentary on Deuteronomy 25:6
Deuteronomy 25:5-10. .(5) If brethren dwell together.—This law is made the subject of a whole treatise in the Talmud, called Yebâmôth. The object of the law was held to be attained if the family of the dead man was perpetuated, and did not become extinct. And therefore the marriage specified was not necessarily between the brother and the brother’s wife, but might be between other representatives of the two persons in question. (See Ruth 4) The law is older than Moses. We first hear of it in the household of Judah the son of Jacob (Genesis 38:8). The violation of the law then was punished with death, not with disgrace only. But that which makes the law most memorable, is the teaching elicited from the lips of our Saviour by the question which the Sadducees raised upon it (see marginal reference). It is worth while to observe that the law itself demands that in some sense there should be a resurrection. Boaz puts it thus (Rth 4:5), “to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.” Why should the name of the dead be kept up, if the dead has passed out of existence? We may well believe that this law was partly intended (like baptism for the dead, or like giving children the names of their departed progenitors) for the express purpose of keeping alive the hope of resurrection in the minds of the chosen people.
(11,12) When men strive together. . . .—Another precept of humanity. In Exodus 21:22, “If men strive and hurt a woman with child,” punishment or compensation must follow. The law in this place is the counterpart of that. Men must be protected as well as women. Putteth forth her hand and taketh him.—“Him,” i.e., him that smiteth her husband. The precept is to enforce modesty as well as to protect humanity.
