Hebrew people know they give woman land, but they don't understand the depth of it. So when you take the surface now, you will say women are marginalized. Women are not. Because the framers of that culture get as the entire framers. They framed it in such a way that those then, the assumption is that a woman will marry into another family. And land is not a movable asset. It's a fixed asset. And it was communally owned and handed from generation to generation. So you can't give a woman who is living land. So if you'll be woman for your family, they won't give you. But your brother's wife will get. Yes. Your brother's wife will get. Because your brother's wife is not part of the community. Will get. And you, when you marry, you will get. Somewhere else. Somewhere else. So they don't bother giving you in your father's house. But people don't understand when they say, they say, even then they give woman land. That is not how. As a child, I knew and I saw that once they marry you the day of your wedding, As you reach the husband gate, they don't give you to your husband. They give you to your husband's father, your father-in-law or the leader of the family. And then they hand over the bride too. As soon as from church, they come. Once you reach gates, the bride will stop. Those days I saw it as a child. I don't understand why I asked and they explained it to me. He go, wear that wedding gown. Come aside, stand for gate. He no go enter. The mother will take a hole and the father they will lead her straight with her wedding gown into the farm As they reach there the father will allocate her a plot of land. She will make her first mound indicating that she will be productive and she will do a tree plant. There. That land, for the rest of her stay in that marriage, becomes hers. Nobody can take it, not even her husband. Because the culture did not have divorce factored into it. That's why they give her land on arrival. so that if the husband says I don't do it again she can build herself a home she already has a land and she has a place to farm nice the culture provided for them in that way because the woman becomes a member of the family if she if she if she lives but if the man is dead she still has it's for life whatever has been given to her as long as she bears their name and stays with them whatever is hers is hers then if she decides to work on but if she decides that she wants to chat life another place she will leave this one and they will give her in her new place. Wow. You can't take people's ancestral land and auction it now. If woman no marry too, they had this thing. They gave her land as well. Who will give her? No, the family gives her. If she can't change her man, marry one. No, no, no. She can't take it. As long as you're in that family, husband no come, you will have a land that is allocated to you where you farm. Because then agriculture was a means of livelihood. You had. you had but if you want to leave tomorrow husband come you can't take it
