"If a man has two wives, the one loved and ⁽ⁱ⁾the other ^[k]unloved, and both the loved and the ^[l]unloved have borne him sons, if the firstborn son belongs to the ^[m]unloved,

then it shall be in the day he ^[n]wills what he has to his sons, he cannot make the son of the loved the firstborn before the son of the ^[o]unloved, who is the firstborn.

But he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the ^[p]unloved, by giving him a double portion of all that ^[q]he has, for he is the ^(j)beginning of his strength; ^(k)to him belongs the right of the firstborn.
