Deuteronomy 21:15-21
15“If a man has two wives, the one loved and 1the other 2unloved, and both the loved and the 3unloved have borne him sons, if the firstborn son belongs to the 4unloved, 16then it shall be in the day he 5wills what he has to his sons, he cannot make the son of the loved the firstborn before the son of the 6unloved, who is the firstborn. 17But he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the 7unloved, by giving him a double portion of all that 8he has, for he is the 9beginning of his strength; 10to him belongs the right of the firstborn.
18“If any man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will 11not obey his father or his mother, and when they chastise him, he will not even listen to them, 19then his father and mother shall seize him, and bring him out to the elders of his city 12at the gateway of his hometown. 20They shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey us, he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ 2113Then all the men of his city shall stone him to death; so 14you shall remove the evil from your midst, and 15all Israel will hear of it and fear.
