Character Creates Inheritance
Commentators suggest the 'good man' who leaves a lasting inheritance is characterized by generosity and a lack of anxiety about riches. Charles Ellicott defines this person as 'liberal' and 'unselfish,' while Matthew Henry notes that the 'servant of God who is not anxious about riches takes the best method of providing for his children.' The focus is on godly character, not just financial accumulation.
