Inheritance The portion of possessions that transfers to an heir upon the owner’s death.

The Old Testament presents inheritance principally in the context of legal dealings concerning property. It also applies these basic ideas to the theological statements of the land as Israel’s inheritance and Israel as God’s inheritance. The New Testament deals with inheritance largely as the promised eternal kingdom of God shared by those called by grace.
