Deuteronomy:21:15-21

*
If a man have two wives ,
one beloved ,
and another hated ,
and they have born him children ,
both the beloved and the hated ;
and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated :
*
Then it shall be ,
when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath ,
that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated ,
which is indeed the firstborn :
*
But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn ,
by giving him a double portion of all that he hath :
for he is the beginning of his strength ;
the right of the firstborn is his .
*
If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son ,
which will not obey the voice of his father ,
or the voice of his mother ,
and that ,
when they have chastened him ,
will not hearken unto them :
*
Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him ,
and bring him out unto the elders of his city ,
and unto the gate of his place ;
*
And they shall say unto the elders of his city ,
This our son is stubborn and rebellious ,
he will not obey our voice ;
he is a glutton ,
and a drunkard .
*
And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones ,
that he die :
so shalt thou put evil away from among you ;
and all Israel shall hear ,
and fear .
