In Matthew 22:24, the future active indicative form occurs in the instruction that, if a man dies without children, his brother is to marry the wife; the APB renders the clause “his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Matthew 22:24, the APB presents the action as “his brother shall marry his wife,” followed by the purpose of raising offspring for the deceased brother. That wording is treated as the clause’s presentation rather than a precise lexical mapping.
