¹³And she shall remove the clothing of her captivity from her, and she shall remain in your house, and she shall mourn her father and her mother a full month,^k and after this you may have sex with her,^l and you may marry her, and she may become your wife.^m ¹⁴And then if you do not take delight in her, then you shall let her go to do whatever she wants,ⁿ but you shall not treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored^o her.

¹⁵“If a man has two wives, and the one is loved and the other one is disliked and the one loved and the one that is disliked have borne for him sons, if it happens that the firstborn son belongs to the one that is disliked,^p ¹⁶nevertheless it will be the case that^q on the day of bestowing his inheritance upon his sons, he will not be allowed to treat as the firstborn son the son of the beloved wife in preference to^r the son of the disliked wife, who is the firstborn son. ¹⁷But he shall acknowledge the firstborn son of the disliked wife by giving^s him a double portion of all that he has,^t for he is the firstfruit of his vigor;^u to him is the legal claim of the birthright.^v

¹⁸“If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son^w who does not listen to^x the voice of his father and to the voice of his mother, and they discipline him, and he does not obey^y them, ¹⁹then his father and his mother shall take hold of him, and they shall bring him out to the elders of his city and to the gate of his town,^z ²⁰and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he does not obey us,^a and he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ ²¹Then all the men of his city shall stone him with stones and let him die; and so you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all of Israel will hear, and they will fear.
