Deuteronomy 21:14-17

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.1
