Deuteronomy 21:14-17

14And it shall be, ifH518 thou have noH3808 delightH2654 in herH7971, then thou shalt letH7971 herH7971 goH7971 whither sheH834 will; but thou shalt notH3808 sellH4376 herH7971 at all for moneyH3701, thou shalt notH3808 deal with herH7971 as a slaveH5315, becauseH834 thou hast humbled herH7971.

15IfH3588 a manH376 have twoH8147 wivesH802, the one belovedH157, and the otherH259 hatedH8130, and they have borneH3205 him childrenH1121, bothH8147 the belovedH157 and the hatedH8130; and ifH3588 the firstbornH1060 sonH1121 be hers that was hatedH8130;

16then it shall be, in the dayH3117 that he causeth his sonsH1121 to inheritH5157 that whichH834 he hath, that he may notH3808 makeH1069 the sonH1121 of the belovedH157 the firstbornH1060 beforeH6440 the sonH1121 of the hatedH8130, whichH834 is the firstbornH1060:

17but he shall acknowledgeH5234 the firstbornH1060, the sonH1121 of the hatedH8130, by givingH5414 him a doubleH8147 portionH6310 of allH3605 that he hath: for he is the beginningH7225 of his strengthH202; the rightH4941 of the firstbornH1060 is his.
