Deuteronomy 21:10-17
10When thou goest forthH3318 to warH4421 against thine enemiesH341, And YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 hath deliveredH5414 them into thine handsH3027, and thou hast takenH7617 them captiveH7628, 11And seestH7200 among the captivesH7633 a beautifulH3303H8389 womanH802, and hast a desireH2836 unto her, that thou wouldest have herH3947 to thy wifeH802; 12Then thou shalt bringH935 her homeH8432 to thine houseH1004; and she shall shaveH1548 her headH7218, and pareH6213 her nailsH6856;1 13And she shall putH5493 the raimentH8071 of her captivityH7628 from off her, and shall remainH3427 in thine houseH1004, and bewailH1058 her fatherH1 and her motherH517 a fullH3117 monthH3391: and afterH310 that thou shalt goH935 in unto her, and be her husbandH1166, and she shall be thy wifeH802. 14And it shall be, if thou have no delightH2654 in her, then thou shalt let her goH7971 whither she willH5315; but thou shalt not sellH4376 her at allH4376 for moneyH3701, thou shalt not make merchandiseH6014 of her, becauseH834 thou hast humbledH6031 her.
15If a manH376 have twoH8147 wivesH802, oneH259 belovedH157, and anotherH259 hatedH8130, and they have bornH3205 him childrenH1121, both the belovedH157 and the hatedH8130; and if the firstbornH1060 sonH1121 be hers that was hatedH8146: 16Then it shall be, whenH3117 he maketh his sonsH1121 to inheritH5157 that which he hath, that he mayH3201 not make the sonH1121 of the belovedH157 firstbornH1069 beforeH6440 the sonH1121 of the hatedH8130, which is indeed the firstbornH1060: 17But he shall acknowledgeH5234 the sonH1121 of the hatedH8130 for the firstbornH1060, by givingH5414 him a doubleH8147 portionH6310 of all that he hathH4672: for he is the beginningH7225 of his strengthH202; the rightH4941 of the firstbornH1062 is his.2
