I have trouble with understanding why fjárskiptis has to be in genetive. I look the word beiða up in the dictionary, and i found examples where it nouns is in genetive and other with dative.

If anyone can it explain to me why fjárskiptis is in genetive, it would be very nice.

En er Hrafnkell kom heim, beiddi hann föður sinn fjárskiptis, ok sagðisk hann búðstað vilja reisa sér.


Thanks allot, from Hrafn
