17He must recognize that his firstborn son is the son of the wife that he does not love. This son was the first son born to that man. So he must receive the double share of his father's things. That is what God's Law says must happen.21:17 ‘Double share’ means that the firstborn son would receive twice as much as other sons when his father died.
