Sice it appears that there were oly two sos, the youger would have bee etitled to oethird of the father s holdigs. However, Jewish law did ot allow a perso to sell his father s lad iheritace because it had bee give by God. So i askig his father to give him the lad early, the youger so was maeuverig agaist the law. Ay Jew would have see what the so was doig ad would have refused to buy the lad. It was also agaist the law to sell such lad to a Getile.

He was coviced that he had sacrificed his right to be his father s so. He ow decided to do what he kew was right.
