Deuteronomy 21:10-17
10WhenH3588 you goH3318 to warH4421 againstH5921 your enemiesH341 and the LORDH3068 your GodH430 delivers themH5414 into your handH3027 and you take themH7617 captiveH7628, 11if you seeH7200 a beautifulH3303H8389 womanH802 amongH7633 them, and you desireH2836 her and want to takeH3947 her as your wifeH802, 12then you shall bring herH935 intoH413H8432 your houseH1004. She must shaveH1548 her headH7218, trimH6213 her nailsH6856, 13and put asideH5493 the clothingH8071 of her captivityH7628.
AfterH310 she has livedH3427 in your houseH1004 a full monthH3391H3117 and mournedH1058 her fatherH1 and motherH517, you may have relations withH935 herH413 and be her husbandH1166, and she shall beH1961 your wifeH802. 14AndH1961 ifH518 you are notH3808 pleasedH2654 with her, you are to let her goH7971 wherever she wishesH5315. But you must notH3808 sell herH4376 for moneyH3701H3808 or treat her as a slaveH6014, sinceH8478 you have dishonored herH6031.
15IfH3588 a manH376 hasH1961 twoH8147 wivesH802, oneH259 belovedH157 and the otherH259 unlovedH8130, andH157H8130 both bearH3205 him sonsH1121, but the unlovedH8146 wife hasH1961 the firstbornH1060 sonH1121, 16whenH3117 that manH834H1961 assigns his inheritanceH5157 to his sonsH1121 he must notH3808 appointH3201 the sonH1121 of the beloved wifeH157 asH5921 the firstbornH6440 overH1121 the son of the unloved wifeH8130H1060.
17InsteadH3588, he must acknowledgeH5234 the firstbornH1060, the sonH1121 of his unloved wifeH8130, by givingH5414 him a doubleH8147 portionH6310 of allH3605 thatH834 he hasH4672. ForH3588 that son is the firstfruitsH7225 of his father’s strengthH202; the rightH4941 of the firstbornH1062 belongs to him.
