9. In this way you are to remove the guilt of innocent blood from among you when you do that which is right in the eyes of the Lord.
10. When you go forth to war against your enemies, and the Lord your God has delivered them into your hands, and you have taken them captive,
11. and you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and have a desire for her to have her as your wife,
12. then you are to bring her home to your house, and she is to shave her head and trim her nails.
13. She must also discard the clothing of her captivity and shall remain in your house, and mourn her father and her mother for a full month. After that you may have relations with her, and be her husband, and she will be your wife.
14. It will be, if you are not pleased with her, then you must let her go wherever she pleases, but you may not sell her at all for money, nor are you to make merchandise of her, because you have humbled her.
15. If a man has two wives, one beloved and another unloved, and both have borne him children, both the loved one and the unloved one, and if the firstborn son is hers that is unloved,
16. then it must be, when he gives his sons the inheritance which he has, that he may not make the firstborn son of the loved come before the son of the unloved, who was indeed the firstborn.
17. On the contrary, he must acknowledge the son of the unloved for the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he has, for he is the beginning of his strength. The right of the firstborn is his.
