Deuteronomy 21:14-17
14It shall be, if you are not pleased with her, then you shall let her go 1wherever she wishes; but you shall certainly not sell her for money, you shall not 2mistreat her, because you have 3humbled her.
15“If a man has two wives, the one loved and 4the other 5unloved, and both the loved and the 6unloved have borne him sons, if the firstborn son belongs to the 7unloved, 16then it shall be in the day he 8wills what he has to his sons, he cannot make the son of the loved the firstborn before the son of the 9unloved, who is the firstborn. 17But he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the 10unloved, by giving him a double portion of all that 11he has, for he is the 12beginning of his strength; 13to him belongs the right of the firstborn.
