Deuteronomy 21:10-17

10When thou goest forthH3318 to warH4421 against thine enemiesH341, and Jehovah thy 1GodH430 delivereth them into thy handsH3027, and thou hast takenH7617 captivesH7628 of them,

11and thou seest among the captivesH7633 a womanH802 of beautifulH3303 formH8389, and hast a desire unto her, and takest her as thy wifeH802;

12then thou shalt bringH935 her home to thy houseH1004; and she shall shaveH1548 her headH7218, and pare her nails;

13and she shall put the clothesH8071 of her captivityH7633 from off her, and shall abide in thy houseH1004, and bewail her fatherH1 and motherH517 a full monthH3391, and afterwards thou mayest goH935 in unto her, and beH1961 her husbandH1167, and she shall beH1961 thy wifeH802.

14And it shall beH1961, if thou have no delightH2654 in her, then thou shalt let her goH7971 according to her desireH5315; but thou shalt in no wise sellH4376 her for moneyH3701; thou shalt not treat her as a slave, because thou hast humbled her.

15If a manH376 have twoH8147 wivesH802, oneH259 beloved, and oneH259 hatedH8130, and they have borneH3205 him children, both the beloved and the hatedH8130, and the firstbornH1060 sonH1121 beH1961 hers that wasH1961 hatedH8130;

16then it shall beH1961, in the dayH3117 that he maketh his sonsH1121 to inheritH5157 what he hath, that he may not make the sonH1121 of the beloved firstbornH1060 before the sonH1121 of the hatedH8130, who is the firstbornH1060;

17but he shall acknowledgeH5234 as firstbornH1060 the sonH1121 of the hatedH8130, by givingH5414 him a double portion of all that is foundH4672 with him; for he is the firstfruits of his vigour: the rightH4941 of the firstbornH1060 is his.
