What is the law for inheritances of Fathers when there is no son in the family?
Answer From The Annual Reading Schedule - Week 38 Notes For Numbers: The inheritance passes to the daughter. If there is no daughter, the brothers get the inheritance. If he has no brothers, then it passes to his Father's brothers. If his Father has no brothers, it passes to the nearest relative in his clan. (Numbers 27:8-11) You might be thinking, "What about the wife?". A brother once pointed out just how superior these laws are as compared to inheritance laws of some countries today that give the inheritance first to the wife. Why? Because if a man were to divorce his first wife whom he had children with and remarry, and then die, it could be possible that his children from his first wife would have no inheritance. If the inheritance does not pass first to the children, then the children are not protected. In addition, think about what happens when a man dies: his wife becomes available for marriage. What if a man were to die in battle and a woman were to remarry into a different tribe? If the inheritance were to go to her after her husbands' death, then land inheritances would switch tribes because her tribe and the tribe of any future children is determined by the Father. Yahweh's laws put the little ones first and protect them, and ensure that they get the inheritances they should get. He knows best.
