Berean Study Bible
when that man assigns his inheritance to his sons he must not appoint the son of the beloved wife as the firstborn over the son of the unloved wife.

Young's Literal Translation
then it hath been, in the day of his causing his sons to inherit that which he hath, he is not able to declare first-born the son of the loved one, in the face of the son of the hated one—the first-born.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
when that man gives what he has to his sons as an inheritance, he is not to show favoritism to the son of the loved wife as his firstborn over the firstborn of the unloved wife.

New American Standard Bible
then it shall be in the day he wills what he has to his sons, he cannot make the son of the loved the firstborn before the son of the unloved, who is the firstborn.

King James Bible
Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit [that] which he hath, [that] he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, [which is indeed] the firstborn: Deuteronomy 21:16 • Deuteronomy 21:16 NIV • Deuteronomy 21:16 NLT • Deuteronomy 21:16 ESV • Deuteronomy 21:16 NASB • Deuteronomy 21:16 KJV • Deuteronomy 21:16 Biblia Paralela • Deuteronomy 21:16 Chinese Bible • Deuteronomy 21:16 French Bible • Deuteronomy 21:16 German Bible
