The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Koran: no son, and his parents inherit, then let his mother have a third, and
if he have brethren, let his mother have a sixth after payment of

bequeath or of their debts. And they shall have a fourth of what ye
leave, if ye have no son; but if ye have a son, then let them have
an eighth of what ye leave, after payment of the bequest ye bequeath
