2 “Sanctify to me every male firstborn that opens each womb among the sons of Israel, among men and beasts. It is mine.”+

17 Only the firstborn bull or firstborn male lamb or firstborn goat you should not redeem.+ They are something holy. Their blood+ you should sprinkle upon the altar, and their fat you should make smoke as an offering made by fire for a restful odor to Jehovah.+
