15 If a man has two wives, one beloved and the other hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the first-born son be hers that is hated; 16 Then it shall be, when he makes his sons to inherit his property, it is unlawful for him to make the son of the beloved wife first-born before the son of the hated; 17 But the first-born, the son of the hated, he must receive double portion of all that he has; for he is the first of his children; and the right of the first-born is his. 18 If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son, who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and who, when they have chastised him, will not hearken to them; 19 Then his father and his mother shall lay hold on him, and bring him out to the eiders of the city, at the gate of his place; 20 And they shall say to the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he does not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard. 21 Then all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die; so shall you put evil away fore among you; and all Israel. I shall hear, and fear. 22 And if any man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is crucified on a tree, and thus put to death; 23 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but you shall bury him the same day (for he who shall revile God shall be crucified), and you shall not defile your land, which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance.
