ResumoAchsah, the wise daughter, disappointed at the dowry she received when she was married to Othniel, acts cunningly, doing what she can to modify the situation. She demands outright a gift from her father that will constitute a supplement to the dowry more appropriate than what she has already received from him. Within the framework of providing his daughter with a dowry, Caleb seems to have had the right to grant her real estate.
