Deuteronomy 21:17 in Context — Deuteronomy 21
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.
18 Si un homme a un fils indocile et rebelle, n’écoutant ni la voix de son père, ni la voix de sa mère, et ne leur obéissant pas même après qu’ils l’ont châtié,
19 le père et la mère le prendront, et le mèneront vers les anciens de sa ville et à la porte du lieu qu’il habite.
