Deuteronomy 21:14-17

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.
