However, contemporary texts indicate that among the Jews, a woman may have acquired resources in various ways: (1) as an inheritance if her father died without sons, (2) as property given to her, (3) as money stipulated in a marriage contract as due her in case of divorce, (4) as maintenance from a deceased husband’s estate, or (5) as personal earnings.
Namun, tulisan pada zaman itu menunjukkan bahwa wanita Yahudi bisa jadi mendapat harta melalui: (1) warisan jika ayahnya meninggal tanpa punya anak laki - laki, (2) pemberian, (3) sejumlah uang yang, menurut kontrak perkawinan, akan diberikan jika terjadi perceraian, (4) harta dari suami yang sudah meninggal, atau (5) pendapatan pribadi.
