Tree Of Life Version

Deuteronomy 21:17-20 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

17. Rather, he must acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the hated one, by giving him a double portion of all that he has. For he is the first of his vigor—the right of the firstborn is his.

18. “Suppose a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not listen to the voice of his father or mother. They discipline him, but he does not listen to them.

19. Then his father and mother are to grab hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city—to the gate of his place.

20. They will say to the elders of his city, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious—he does not listen to our voice. He is a glutton and a drunkard.’
