Deuteronomy 21:16-17

16then it shall be in the day he 1wills what he has to his sons, he cannot make the son of the loved the firstborn before the son of the 2unloved, who is the firstborn. 17But he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the 3unloved, by giving him a double portion of all that 4he has, for he is the 5beginning of his strength; 6to him belongs the right of the firstborn.
