In context
12 then shalt thou bring her into the midst of thy house,—and she shall shave her head and pare her nails;
13 and put away the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thy house, and bewail her father and her mother for the space of a month,—and after that, mayest thou go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
14 And it shall be, if thou hast no pleasure in her, then shalt thou let her go whither she will but thou shalt not sell, her for silver,—thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.
15 When a man shall have two wives—the one beloved and, the other hated, and they have borne him sons, both she that is beloved, and she that is hated,—and it shall be that the firstborn son belongeth to her that is hated,
16 then shall it be, that in the day when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, he may not treat the son of the beloved, instead of the son of the hated, as the firstborn;
17 but the true firstborn the son of her that is hated, shall he treat as firstborn by giving him double out of all that is found to be his,—for, he, is the beginning of his strength, his, is the right of the firstborn.
