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

19 “Everything that first opens the womb is mine,+ and, as regards all your livestock, the male firstling of bull and of sheep.+

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.+

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.+
