Deuteronomy 21:15-17
Legacy Standard Bible
15 “If a man has two wives, the one loved and (A)the other [a]unloved, and both the loved and the [b]unloved have borne him sons, if the firstborn son belongs to the [c]unloved, 16 then it shall be in the day he [d]wills what he has to his sons, he cannot make the son of the loved the firstborn before the son of the [e]unloved, who is the firstborn. 17 But he shall recognize the firstborn, the son of the [f]unloved, by giving him a double portion of all that [g]he has, for he is the (B)first of his vigor; (C)the legal judgment for the firstborn belongs to him.
