Genesis 15:3Abram continued, “Behold, You have given me no offspring, so a servant in my household will be my heir.”Genesis 21:9But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking her son,Genesis 21:10and she said to Abraham, “Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac!”Genesis 21:11Now this matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son Ishmael.Genesis 24:36My master’s wife Sarah has borne him a son in her old age, and my master has given him everything he owns.Genesis 25:5Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.Genesis 25:6But while he was still alive, Abraham gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them away from his son Isaac to the land of the east.Genesis 38:7But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; so the LORD put him to death.Genesis 38:8Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife. Perform your duty as her brother-in-law and raise up offspring for your brother.”Genesis 38:9But Onan knew that the offspring would not belong to him; so whenever he would sleep with his brother’s wife, he would spill his seed on the ground so that he would not produce offspring for his brother.Genesis 38:10What he did was wicked in the sight of the LORD, so He put Onan to death as well.Genesis 38:11Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Live as a widow in your father’s house until my son Shelah grows up.” For he thought, “He may die too, like his brothers.” So Tamar went to live in her father’s house.Genesis 48:21Then Israel said to Joseph, “Look, I am about to die, but God will be with you and bring you back to the land of your fathers.Genesis 48:22And to you, as one who is above your brothers, I give the ridge of land that I took from the Amorites with my sword and bow.”Numbers 27:6and the LORD answered him,Numbers 27:7“The daughters of Zelophehad speak correctly. You certainly must give them property as an inheritance among their father’s brothers and transfer their father’s inheritance to them.Numbers 27:8Furthermore, you shall say to the Israelites, ‘If a man dies and leaves no son, you are to transfer his inheritance to his daughter.Numbers 27:9If he has no daughter, give his inheritance to his brothers.Numbers 27:10If he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.Numbers 27:11And if his father has no brothers, give his inheritance to the next of kin from his clan, that he may take possession of it. This is to be a statutory ordinance for the Israelites, as the LORD has commanded Moses.’”Numbers 36:6This is what the LORD has commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad: They may marry anyone they please, provided they marry within a clan of the tribe of their father.Numbers 36:7No inheritance in Israel may be transferred from tribe to tribe, because each of the Israelites is to retain the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.Numbers 36:8Every daughter who possesses an inheritance from any Israelite tribe must marry within a clan of the tribe of her father, so that every Israelite will possess the inheritance of his fathers.Numbers 36:9No inheritance may be transferred from one tribe to another, for each tribe of Israel must retain its inheritance.”Deuteronomy 21:15If a man has two wives, one beloved and the other unloved, and both bear him sons, but the unloved wife has the firstborn son,Deuteronomy 21:16when that man assigns his inheritance to his sons he must not appoint the son of the beloved wife as the firstborn over the son of the unloved wife.Deuteronomy 21:17Instead, he must acknowledge the firstborn, the son of his unloved wife, by giving him a double portion of all that he has. For that son is the firstfruits of his father’s strength; the right of the firstborn belongs to him.Deuteronomy 25:5When brothers dwell together and one of them dies without a son, the widow must not marry outside the family. Her husband’s brother is to take her as his wife and fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law for her.Deuteronomy 25:6The first son she bears will carry on the name of the dead brother, so that his name will not be blotted out from Israel.Deuteronomy 25:7But if the man does not want to marry his brother’s widow, she is to go to the elders at the city gate and say, “My husband’s brother refuses to preserve his brother’s name in Israel. He is not willing to perform the duty of a brother-in-law for me.”Deuteronomy 25:8Then the elders of his city shall summon him and speak with him. If he persists and says, “I do not want to marry her,”Deuteronomy 25:9his brother’s widow shall go up to him in the presence of the elders, remove his sandal, spit in his face, and declare, “This is what is done to the man who will not maintain his brother’s line.”Deuteronomy 25:10And his family name in Israel will be called “The House of the Unsandaled.”Ruth 3:1One day Ruth’s mother-in-law Naomi said to her, “My daughter, should I not seek a resting place for you, that it may be well with you?Ruth 3:2Now is not Boaz, with whose servant girls you have been working, a relative of ours? In fact, tonight he is winnowing barley on the threshing floor.Ruth 3:3Therefore wash yourself, put on perfume, and wear your best clothes. Go down to the threshing floor, but do not let the man know you are there until he has finished eating and drinking.Ruth 3:4When he lies down, note the place where he lies. Then go in and uncover his feet, and lie down, and he will explain to you what you should do.”Ruth 3:5“I will do everything you say,” Ruth answered.Ruth 3:6So she went down to the threshing floor and did everything her mother-in-law had instructed her to do.Ruth 3:7After Boaz had finished eating and drinking and was in good spirits, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. Then Ruth went in secretly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.Ruth 3:8At midnight, Boaz was startled, turned over, and there lying at his feet was a woman!Ruth 4:7Now in former times in Israel, concerning the redemption or exchange of property, to make any matter legally binding a man would remove his sandal and give it to the other party, and this was a confirmation in Israel.Ruth 4:8So the kinsman-redeemer removed his sandal and said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself.”Ruth 4:9At this, Boaz said to the elders and all the people, “You are witnesses today that I am buying from Naomi all that belonged to Elimelech, Chilion, and Mahlon.Ruth 4:10Moreover, I have acquired Ruth the Moabitess, Mahlon’s widow, as my wife, to raise up the name of the deceased through his inheritance, so that his name will not disappear from among his brothers or from the gate of his home. You are witnesses today.”Ruth 4:11“We are witnesses,” said the elders and all the people at the gate. “May the LORD make the woman entering your home like Rachel and Leah, who together built up the house of Israel. May you be prosperous in Ephrathah and famous in Bethlehem.Ruth 4:12And may your house become like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of the offspring the LORD will give you by this young woman.”Ruth 4:13So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife. And when he had relations with her, the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son.Ruth 4:14Then the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without a kinsman-redeemer. May his name become famous in Israel.Ruth 4:15He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age. For your daughter-in-law, who loves you and is better to you than seven sons, has given him birth.”Ruth 4:16And Naomi took the child, placed him on her lap, and became a nurse to him.Ruth 4:17The neighbor women said, “A son has been born to Naomi,” and they named him Obed. He became the father of Jesse, the father of David.1 Kings 21:3But Naboth replied, “The LORD forbid that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers.”2 Chronicles 21:3Their father had given them many gifts of silver and gold and precious things, as well as the fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram because he was the firstborn.Job 42:15No women as beautiful as Job’s daughters could be found in all the land, and their father granted them an inheritance among their brothers.Psalm 37:29The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.Proverbs 17:2A wise servant will rule over a disgraceful son and share his inheritance as one of the brothers.Proverbs 20:21An inheritance gained quickly will not be blessed in the end.Ecclesiastes 2:18I hated all for which I had toiled under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who comes after me.Ecclesiastes 2:19And who knows whether that man will be wise or foolish? Yet he will take over all the labor at which I have worked skillfully under the sun. This too is futile.
