Bible Question: Are there any scriptures in the bible that reference that parent should leave an inheritance for their children? Or vice versa?

Bible Answer: In 2 Corinthians 12, Paul makes reference to a fact that would have been accepted without argument, that it is parents who provide for children and not vice versa. His point was that he was their father in the faith and would come with gifts for them, spiritual gifts, rather than expecting them to take care of him.

The fact that parents left an inheritance for thir children would have been known to them since it is found all through the Old testament. See Genesis 24:35-36; Genesis 31:14,15; Ruth 4:4,6; Proverbs 13:22; Proverbs 19:14, for example.
