Deuteronomy 21:16-17
16then it shall be on the day that he wills what he owns as an inheritance to his sons, he is not allowed to treat the son of the loved wife as the firstborn, 1at the expense of the son of the 2unloved, who actually is the firstborn son. 17On the contrary, he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the 3unloved wife, by giving him a double 4portion of everything that 5he owns, for he was the 6beginning of his 7strength; 8to him belongs the right of the firstborn.
