¹² and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of `thy' substance that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.

⁴⁴ for they all did cast in of their superfluity; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, `even' all her living.

³⁰ but when this thy son came, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou killedst for him the fatted calf.

¹⁶ then it shall be, in the day that he causeth his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved the first-born before the son of the hated, who is the first-born:

¹⁷ but he shall acknowledge the first-born, the son of the hated, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath; for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the first-born is his.

⁵ Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: Thou maintainest my lot.

⁶ The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly heritage.

¹⁴ From men by thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, whose portion is in `this' life, And whose belly thou fillest with thy treasure: They are satisfied with children, And leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
