Heir

“What I am saying is that as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he is the owner of everything.”

“He is subject to guardians and trustees until the date set by his father.”

“Abram continued, “Behold, You have given me no offspring, so a servant in my household will be my heir.””

“and 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!””

“Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.”

“But 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.”

“You may also purchase them from the foreigners residing among you or their clans living among you who are born in your land. These may become your property.”

“You may leave them to your sons after you to inherit as property; you can make them slaves for life. But as for your brothers, the Israelites, no man may rule harshly over his brother.”
