10“WhenH3588 you goH3318 outH3318 to battleH4421 againstH5921 your enemiesH340, and 1the LordH3068 your GodH430 handsH3027H5414 them overH5414 to you and you takeH7617 them away captiveH7628, 11and you seeH7200 among the captivesH7633 a beautifulH3303H8389 womanH802, and areH2836 stronglyH2836 attractedH2836 to her and would takeH3947 her as a wifeH802 for yourself, 12then you shall bringH935 her into your homeH1004, and she shall 2shaveH1548 her headH7218 and 3trimH6213 her nailsH6856. 13She shall also 4removeH5493 the clothesH8071 of her captivityH7628 and shall remainH3427 in your houseH1004, and 5weepH1058 for her fatherH1 and motherH517 a fullH3117 monthH3391; and afterH310 that you may haveH935 relationsH935 withH935 her and becomeH1166 her husbandH1166 and she shall be your wifeH802. 14But it shall be, ifH518 you are not pleasedH2654 with her, then you shall letH7971 her goH7971 6wherever she wishesH5315; and you certainlyH4376 shall not sellH4376 her for moneyH3701, you shall not treatH6014 her asH6014 merchandiseH6014, sinceH8478H834 you have 78humiliatedH6031 her.
15“IfH3588 a manH376 hasH1961 twoH8147 wivesH802, the oneH259 lovedH157 and 9the otherH259 10unlovedH8130, and both the lovedH157 and the 11unlovedH8130 have borneH3205 him sonsH1121, and the firstbornH1060 sonH1121 belongs to the 12unlovedH8146, 16then it shall be on the dayH3117 that he willsH5157 whatH834 he ownsH1961 asH5157 anH5157 inheritanceH5157 to his sonsH1121, he is not allowedH3201 to treatH1069 the sonH1121 of the lovedH157 wife asH1069 theH1069 firstbornH1069, 13at the expenseH5921H6440 of the sonH1121 of the 14unlovedH8130, who actually is the firstbornH1060 son. 17OnH3588 theH3588 contraryH3588, he shall acknowledgeH5234 the firstbornH1060, the sonH1121 of the 15unlovedH8130 wife, by givingH5414 him a doubleH8147 16portionH6310 of everythingH3605 that 17he ownsH4672, for he was the 18beginningH7225 of his 19strengthH202; 20to him belongs the rightH4941 of the firstbornH1060.
