¹² The younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of your property.' He divided his livelihood between them.

⁴⁴ for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on."

³⁰ But when this, your son, came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.'

¹⁶ then it shall be, in the day that he causes his sons to inherit that which he has, that he may not make the son of the beloved the firstborn before the son of the hated, who is the firstborn:

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

⁵ Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.

⁶ The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.

¹⁴ From men by your hand, Yahweh, From men of the world, whose portion is in this life. You fill the belly of your cherished ones. Your sons have plenty, And they store up wealth for their children.
