Iste egredietur prior.
Y sucedió, cuando paría, que sacó la mano el uno, y la partera tomó y ató á su mano un hilo de grana, diciendo: Este salió primero.
And as she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand; so the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it around his wrist. “ This one came out first,” she announced.
