¹² And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me that part of your property which will be mine. And he made division of his goods between them.

⁴⁴ Because they all put in something out of what they had no need for; but she out of her need put in all she had, even all her living.

³⁰ But when this your son came, who has been wasting your property with bad women, you put to death the fat young ox for him.

¹⁶ Then when he gives his property to his sons for their heritage, he is not to put the son of his loved one in the place of the first son, the son of the hated wife:

¹⁷ But he is to give his first son his birthright, and twice as great a part of his property: for he is the first-fruits of his strength and the right of the first son is his.

⁵ The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.

⁶ Fair are the places marked out for me; I have a noble heritage.

¹⁴ With your hand, O Lord, from men, even men of the world, whose heritage is in this life, and whom you make full with your secret wealth: they are full of children; after their death their offspring take the rest of their goods.
