15
If a man has two wives, one of them loved and the other disliked, and if both the loved and the disliked have borne him sons, the firstborn being the son of the one who is disliked,
16
then on the day when he wills his possessions to his sons, he is not permitted to treat the son of the loved as the firstborn in preference to the son of the disliked, who is the firstborn.
17
He must acknowledge as firstborn the son of the one who is disliked, giving him a double portion a of all that he has; since he is the first issue of his virility, the right of the firstborn is his.
