[21] 5 ἑνὶ μέντοι νόμου διατάγματι
τοῖς ἀκούειν ἐπισταμένοις ἑκάτερον ὧν εἶπον ἐναργέστερον φανεῖται δεδηλωκώς· „ἐὰν γὰρ γένωνται„ φησίν „ἀνθρώπῳ δύο γυναῖκες, ἠγαπημένη καὶ μισουμένη, καὶ τέκωσιν αὐτῷ ἡ ἠγαπημένη καὶ ἡ μισουμένη, καὶ ¹ γένηται υἱὸς πρωτότοκος τῆς μισουμένης, ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ κληροδοτῇ τοῖς | υἱοῖς τὰ ὑπάρχοντα, οὐ δυνήσεται πρωτοτοκεῦσαι τῷ υἱῷ τῆς ἠγαπημένης ὑπεριδὼν τὸν υἱὸν τῆς μισουμένης τὸν πρωτότοκον· ἀλλὰ τὸν πρωτότοκον υἱὸν τῆς μισουμένης ἐπιγνώσεται, δοῦναι αὐτῷ διπλᾶ ἀπὸ πάντων ὧν ἐὰν εὑρεθῇ αὐτῷ, ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ἀρχὴ τέκνων αὐτοῦ καὶ τούτῳ
καθήκει τὰ πρωτοτόκια“ (Deut. 21,15 — 17).

Therefore, the scripture is seen to prove each particular of what I have said more plainly to those who have taught themselves to obey one injunction of the law. "For if," says the scripture, "a man has two wives, the one beloved and the other hated, and if she who is beloved bears him a child, and also she who is hated, and if the child of the wife who is hated be the first born, then, on the day on which he bestows on his sons the inheritance of his substance, he shall not be able to give the share of the first born to the son of her who is beloved, overlooking his real first born son, the child of her who is hated; but he must recognize the son of her who is hated as his first born, to give him a double share of all the possessions that belong to him, because he is the beginning of his children, and the rights of the first born belong to him." ¹
