26 “‘Only the firstborn among beasts, which is born as the firstborn for Jehovah,+ no man should sanctify it. Whether bull or sheep, it belongs to Jehovah.+

13 For every firstborn is mine.+ In the day that I struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt+ I sanctified to myself every firstborn in Israel from man to beast.+ They should become mine. I am Jehovah.”

15 “Everything opening the womb,+ of every sort of flesh, which they will present to Jehovah, among man and among beast, should become yours. However, you should without fail redeem the firstborn of mankind;+ and the firstborn of the unclean beast you should redeem.+

19 “Every male firstborn that will be born in your herd and in your flock you should sanctify to Jehovah your God.+ You must do no service with the firstborn of your bull, nor shear the firstborn of your flock.+

23 just as it is written in Jehovah’s* law: “Every male opening a womb must be called holy to Jehovah,”*+
