Deuteronomy 21:15 in Context — Deuteronomy 21

13 elle quittera les vêtements qu’elle portait quand elle a été prise, elle demeurera dans ta maison, et elle pleurera son père et sa mère pendant un mois. Après cela, tu iras vers elle, tu l’auras en ta possession, et elle sera ta femme.

14 Si elle cesse de te plaire, tu la laisseras aller où elle voudra, tu ne pourras pas la vendre pour de l’argent ni la traiter comme esclave, parce que tu l’auras humiliée.

15 Si un homme, qui a deux femmes, aime l’une et n’aime pas l’autre, et s’il en a des fils dont le premier-né soit de la femme qu’il n’aime pas,

16 il ne pourra point, quand il partagera son bien entre ses fils, reconnaître comme premier-né le fils de celle qu’il aime, à la place du fils de celle qu’il n’aime pas, et qui est le premier-né.

17 Mais il reconnaîtra pour premier-né le fils de celle qu’il n’aime pas, et lui donnera sur son bien une portion double; car ce fils est les prémices de sa vigueur, le droit d’aînesse lui appartient.
