[The Pentateuch]

When thou goest to war against thine enemies and the Lord thy God hath delivered them in to 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 heed and pare her nails and put her raiment that she was taken in from her, and let her remain in thine house and be weep her father and her mother a month long and after that goo 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 hum bled her.

When thou goest to warre agenst thyne enemies and the Lorde thy God hath delyuered them in to thine handes and thou hast take them captyue, and seist amonge the captyues a bewtifull woman and hast a fantasye vnto her that thou woldest haue her to thy wyfe. Then bringe her home to thine housse and let her shaue hir heed and pare hir nayles ād put hir rayment that she was taken in from hir, and let hir remayne in thine housse and be wepe hir father and hir mother a moneth long and after that goo in vnto her ād marie her ād let her be thi wife. And yf thou haue no fauoure vnto her, then let her go whother she lusteth: for thou mayst not sell her for monye nor make cheuesaūce of her, because thou hast hū bled 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 ⟨p. XXXVIII⟩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 in dead the firstborn: But he shall know the son off the hated for his firstborn, that he give him double off all that he hath. For he is the first off his strength, and to him belongeth the right of the firstborneshippe.
