OK so now you are making up your own morality and putting it on people in Biblical times even though you admit it was not the law. BTW, if you are saying inheritance is no longer relevant, fine, if you inherit anything please give it to me. If I have any children, you can pay for them. Also, if any of your family are going to help you out in time of need, point out that such considerations are irrelevant now and tell them to send me money instead. You shouldn't mind, what with inheritance being irrelevant and everything.

Inheritance is still a thing, but it's not strictly by biological descent anymore. Ancient fathers were absolutely paranoid about their children being "not really theirs" with their genes. To the point where they'd straight up abandon them if they found out they were illegitimate.
