Exegesis
The conditional protasis begins with ean tis apothanē {Ἐάν τις ἀποθάνῃ | e-án tis a-po-thán-ē} ‘if anyone should die’, using the subjunctive to present a hypothetical case.
In context — Matthew 22:24
They said, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies without having children, his brother will marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’”
