New American Standard Bible
14 But it shall be, if you are not pleased with her, then you shall let her go [a]wherever she wishes; and you certainly shall not sell her for money, you shall not treat her as merchandise, since you have [b](A)humiliated her.
15 “If a man has two wives, the one loved and (B)the other [c]unloved, and both the loved and the [d]unloved have borne him sons, and the firstborn son belongs to the [e]unloved, 16 then it shall be on the day that he wills what he owns as an inheritance to his sons, he is not allowed to treat the son of the loved wife as the firstborn, [f]at the expense of the son of the [g]unloved, who actually is the firstborn son.
