Summary

This verse mentions Eleazar, who had no sons, but only daughters. In the culture of that time, inheritance typically passed through male descendants, so Eleazar's situation was unique. Despite not having sons, Eleazar's daughters were still counted among the sons of Kish, indicating their importance and inclusion in the family lineage. This highlights the significance of daughters in the family structure and their role in carrying on the family legacy, showing that God's plan and blessings are not limited by societal norms or expectations.
