Deuteronomy 21:15-21
15If a manH376 shall have twoH8147 wivesH802, oneH259 belovedH157, and anotherH259 hatedH8130, and they have borneH3205 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 prefer 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
18If a manH376 shall have a stubbornH5637 and rebelliousH4784 sonH1121, who will not obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of his fatherH1, or the voiceH6963 of his motherH517, and who, when they have chastenedH3256 him, will not hearkenH8085 to them: 19Then shall his fatherH1 and his motherH517 lay holdH8610 on him, and bring him outH3318 to the eldersH2205 of his cityH5892, and to the gateH8179 of his placeH4725; 20And they shall sayH559 to the eldersH2205 of his cityH5892, This our sonH1121 is stubbornH5637 and rebelliousH4784, he will not obeyH8085 our voiceH6963; he is a gluttonH2151, and a drunkardH5433. 21And all the menH582 of his cityH5892 shall stoneH7275 him with stonesH68, that he may dieH4191: so shalt thou removeH1197 evilH7451 from amongH7130 you; and all IsraelH3478 shall hearH8085, and fearH3372.
