Leah was never meant to be married to Issac. God intended Rachel as Issac's wife. But Leah did inherit many many things (mainly the majority of the sons). There are many things that they do not specifically mention people inheriting. I don't think this means they didn't get anything, merely that we don't know what they got. Could you imagine if they listed everyone's inheritiance? The Bible would be five times the size it is now!

Dinah was a full daughter of Jacob.
Daughters were married off to others and enjoyed the inheritances of their husbands. However, they did have dowries should things not work out in the marriage.
Mannaseh and Ephraim were the eldest sons of Joseph and his Egyptian wife.

Because the daughter's of Manasseh's were the only ones left of the line...their were no male family members left...in that way the family/ tribe could continue...

because of fact of Jacob , the twelve tribes of Judea have been born. they are the Israelites. Gods chosen human beings, and from there the line is going all a thank you to Jesus Christ. Abraham became advised by making use of God he could make him the father of many countries, and the line went from there. purely adult adult males and boys won reward. some females prayed for their wombs to be open to grant their husbands babies, or to grant their babies to God. Jacob and Esau have been the twin sons of Isaac and out of Jacob got here the twelve tribes of Judea. I recomend to study the 1st 3 chapters interior the Bible and that they're going to clarify all there is to appreciate then in case you get involved the remainder of the e book has sturdy examining additionally.

In one version she married she chem without consent. this angered her brothers. after Jacob made a dowry exchange with Habor (?), the men of the town agreed to circumcision. while they were healing some of the brothers murdered the king, the prince and anyone they could find. queen re-nefer took Dinah to Egypt. the brothers thought

Yes, but after they died it would still have followed the male blood line. It doesn't seem fair but actually it was easier to keep track of the males since that civilization often had multiple wives which would have made tracking almost imposible.

Females in those days were mere chattels & financial burdens until they could be 'sold off' for their dowry, and not entitled to money, property, rights, freedom or opinions.

The laws of primogeniture and inheritance did not include women.

because those bone-headed, patriarchal cavemen didn't acknowledge that women existed, much less inherited.
Yeah, Christians, how about this?
