The Complete Passuk
וְאִם־אֵין אַחִים לְאָבִיו וּנְתַתֶּם אֶת־נַחֲלָתוֹ לִשְׁאֵרוֹ הַקָּרֹב אֵלָיו מִמִּשְׁפַּחְתּוֹ וְיָרַשׁ אֹתָהּ וְהָיְתָה לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לְחֻקַּת מִשְׁפָּט כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה ה׳ אֶת־מֹשֶׁה׃
And if his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his kinsman who is closest to him of his family, and he shall inherit it; and it shall be for the children of Yisrael a statute of judgment, as Hashem commanded Moshe.
