The Mosaic Hereditary laws were not based on biological parenthood but on legal family rights.
Thus when for example, a man died before he could father a child with his wife there was the provision for his brother or closest relative to marry the widow. Any children born to as a result would legally bear the name, not of his biological father, but of the dead first husband.
*He that says "name" says "ancestral rights
That this is the case is proven by the example in scripture of the Naomi whose husband and two sons (although married) died before fathering offspring. At that point the bloodline of Naomi's husbend (Elimelech) came to an end.
However, as stated, the he bible has a provision to continue the family name (and pass on all inheritance) through the the closest male relative of the dead man, referred to as the law of "repurchase". When Boaz married Ruth (Naomi's daughter in law), their child replaced Elimelech's dead son (although having no link to his original ancestral family. The child therefore would, as a legitimate son of Israel, (Deut 23:3)
*Le 25:48, 49; Nu 27:5-11
Does this apply only to material inheritance? No. Recall that grievance Esau had with Jacob that his brother had stolen both his "birthright" as firstborn and "his blessing" (see Gen 27:36). The "blessing" rather than representing something material wealth, alluded to God's promise to their Grandfather that through him and his descendants one eventually would be born who would be the Seed of promise, the Messiah (the Abrahamic Promise).
