This made me wonder about a matter. Can a male fetus own a woman? As a sort of thought experiment I concocted the following scenario. Father of an unmarried 11 year old daughter dies. He has no son to take over his property rights. However he has a brother who predeceased him. This brother has a son who also has died, but not before impregnating his wife. The fetus is male (which God would know, even if the wife does not). By the laws of succession it would seem that the male fetus owns the 11 year girl, as well as being a first cousin once removed.
So far so good, but what is the situation if the fetus was a female. Who owns the 11 year old then?
Phil
58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;
59 Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed,
even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.
60 Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.
61 Also every sickness, and every plague, which
is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring
k upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
Deuteronomy 28: 58- 61
