Children are a gift of God:-

Psa 127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

Inheritance was only passed on through the sons, and the first-born son was to receive a double portion of the inheritance:-

Gen 30:1-2 NET When Rachel saw that she could not give Jacob children, she became jealous of her sister. She said to Jacob, "Give me children or I'll die!" [v. 2] Jacob became furious with Rachel and exclaimed, "Am I in the place of God, who has kept you from having children?"
