The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother. Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. And last of all the woman died also. Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.-Matthew 22:23-28***When Moses and his older brother Aaron and their fellow Israelites were in the desert wilderness of Sinai, they heard the voice of the Lord God proclaim the Ten Commandments to them, and there was no sect of Sadducees or Pharisees among the Israelites. When the Lord God was giving Moses judgments, statutes and laws for the Israelites, there were no Sadducees or Pharisees among the Israelites. After Joshua, Moses' successor, led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the Promised Land, there were no Sadducees or Pharisees among the Israelites. After Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, and the Israelites lived under the leadership of elders, judges, their own minds, and kings, there were no Pharisees or Sadducees among the Israelites. The priests were to teach the Israelites, and the priests and elders were to read the words in the Book of the Covenant (Book the Law) to the Israelites and those living within their midst. King Jehoshaphat was the 4th king to rule Judah, the southern nation in the Promised Land. Jehoshaphat sent prominent officials, priests, and other Levites from the tribe of Levi to teach throughout Judah. Over 800 years after Jehoshaphat's son Joram (Jehoram) became the 5th king to rule Judah, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah, the birth tribe of Judah's kings, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Before and after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, the Sadducees were known as the group that believed angels, spirit and resurrection did not exist. Meanwhile, the Pharisees were known for strictly obeying the laws that the Lord God gave to Moses for the Israelites, and strictly obeying the traditions passed down by the Israelite elders. Jesus proclaimed the Sadducees and Pharisees to be hypocrites.-Genesis 11:27-50:26, Exodus, Leviticus 8:1-10:20, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 33:1-34:12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 7:20-29, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, 23:1-11
Reference Scriptures:
If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her. 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.-Deuteronomy 25:5-6
