Exegesis
This is followed by the construct chain nachalat avot {נַחֲלַת אָב֑וֹת | na-ḥă-lāṯ ’ā-vō-ṯ} ‘inheritance of fathers’, linking possessions to ancestral legacy. The coordinating vav in va-hon and u- in u-me-YHWH functions to connect parallel elements and introduce contrast.
In context — Proverbs 19:14
A house and wealth are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD .
