heritage

property that a person can inherit from his ancestors. Children normally receive an inheritance from their parents. Inheritance goes from parents to children. This passage uses parents inheriting children from Yahweh as a metaphor for Yahweh being the only one who can give children. (See: :en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_metaphor)

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth

Arrows are very important to a warrior because they protect him in battle. Children are spoken of as if they are a warrior's arrow. AT: "Having many children will help to protect you" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile)

his quiver full of them

A quiver is a container for arrows. Having many children is spoken of as if the children were arrows in a quiver. AT: "a home full of children" or "many children" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
