- "Sanctifyª° unto me all¹ the firstborn,ª whatsoever¹ openethª the wombª among the childrenª of Israel,ª [both] of manª and of beast:ª it¹ [is] mine." {Exd 13:2} + "That thou shalt set apartª° unto the LORDª all¹ that openethª the matrix,ª and every¹ firstlingª that comethª of a beastª which¹ thou hast;¹ the malesª [shall be] the LORD'S.ª ... And it came to pass,¹ when¹ Pharaohª would hardlyª° let us go,ª° that the LORDª slewª° all¹ the firstbornª in the landª of Egypt,ª both the firstbornª¹ of man,ª and the firstbornª of beast:ª therefore¹¹ I¹ sacrificeª° to the LORDª all¹ that openethª the matrix,ª being males;ª but all¹ the firstbornª of my childrenª I redeem.ª°" {Exd 13:12-15} + "All¹ that openethª the matrixª [is] mine; and every¹ firstlingª among thy cattle,ª [whether] oxª or sheep,ª [that is male].²°¹" {Exd 34:19} + "Only¹ the firstlingª of the beasts,ª which¹ should be the LORD'Sª firstling,ª° no¹ manª shall sanctifyª° it; whether¹ [it be] ox,ª or¹ sheep:ª it¹ [is] the LORD'S.ª ... And if¹ [it be] of an uncleanª beast,ª then he shall redeemª° [it] according to thine estimation,ª and shall addª° a fifthª [part] of it thereto:¹ or if¹ it be not¹ redeemed,ª° then it shall be soldª° according to thy estimation.ª" {Lev 27:26-27} + "Every thing¹ that openethª the matrixª in all¹ flesh,ª which¹ they bringª° unto the LORD,ª [whether it be] of menª or beasts,ª shall be¹ thine: nevertheless¹¹ the firstbornª of manª shalt thou surely²° redeem,ª° and the firstlingª of uncleanª beastsª shalt thou redeem.ª° ...
