When thou goest to
war against thine enemies and the LORD thy God hath delivered them
into thine hands and thou hast take them captive, and seest among
the captives a beautiful woman and hast a fantasy unto her that
thou wouldest have her to thy wife. Then bring her home to thine
house and let her shave her head and pare her nails and put her
raiment that she was taken in from her, and let her remain in
thine house and beweep her father and her mother a month long and
after that go in unto her and marry her and let her be thy wife.
And if thou have no favour unto her, then let her go whither she
lusteth: for thou mayst not sell her for money nor make chevisance
of her, because thou hast humbled her. If a man have two wives,
one loved and another hated, and they have borne him children,
both the loved and also the hated. If the firstborn be the son of
the hated: then when he dealeth his goods among his children, he
may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of
the hated which is indeed the firstborn: But he shall know the son
of the hated for his firstborn, that he give him double of all
that he hath. For he is the first of his strength, and to him
belongeth the right of the firstbornship.
