13 She shall put off the clothes of her captivity, remain in your house, and amourn her father and her mother a full month; after that you may go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.
14 And it shall be, if you have no delight in her, then you shall set her free, but you certainly shall not sell her for money; you shall not treat her brutally, because you have ahumbled her.
Firstborn Inheritance Rights
15 “If a man has two wives, one loved aand the other unloved, and they have borne him children, both the loved and the unloved, and if the firstborn son is of her who is unloved,
16 then it shall be, aon the day he bequeaths his possessions to his sons, that he must not bestow firstborn status on the son of the loved wife in preference to the son of the unloved, the true firstborn.
17 But he shall acknowledge the son of the unloved wife as the firstborn aby giving him a double portion of all that he has, for he bis the beginning of his strength; cthe right of the firstborn is his.
