A house, the inheritance, and a wife here do not refer to specific things or people, but refer to these things and people in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “Houses and wealth are the inheritances of fathers … are wives who have insight”

נַחֲלַ֣ת & מַשְׂכָּֽלֶת

inherited & prudent
