« Deut 20Deut 21Deut 22 »

15 “If a man has two wives, the one loved and ^athe other ¹unloved, and both the loved and the ¹unloved have borne him sons, if the firstborn son belongs to the ¹unloved, 16 then it shall be in the day he ¹wills what he has to his sons, he cannot make the son of the loved the firstborn before the son of the ²unloved, who is the firstborn. 17 But he shall recognize the firstborn, the son of the ¹unloved, by giving him a double portion of all that ²he has, for he is the ^afirst of his vigor; ^bthe legal judgment for the firstborn belongs to him.
