If he have no daughter, his brethren shall succeed him.

and if he have no daughter, then ye have given his inheritance to his brethren;

And if he has no daughter, then give his heritage to his brothers.

If he has no daughter, his brothers shall succeed him.

Quod sinon fuerit ei filia, tunc dabitis haereditatem ejus fratribus ipsius.

And if he have no daughter,.... Dies without any issue:
then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren; and the children descending from them; that is, if his father was dead; otherwise, if he was living, he was to be preferred to them, according to the Jewish writers; though, according to our law, no estate in fee simple ascends lineally, or goes from a son, who has made a purchase of it, to a father: in the Misnah it is said (x), the order of inheritances is thus,"if a man dies and has no son, then they cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter; a son is before a daughter, and all that descend from the son are before the daughter; the daughter is before the brethren (of her father), and those that descend from the daughter are before the brethren; the brethren (of a man) are before his father's brethren (or his uncles); and they that descend from his brethren are before his father's brethren: this is the general rule, everyone that is before in the inheritance, those that descend from him are before others, and a father is before all that descend from him.''
