2 “Sanctify* to me every firstborn male* among the Israelites. The first male to be born, of both human and animal, belongs to me.”+

26 “‘However, no one should sanctify the firstborn of the animals, since it is born as the firstborn for Jehovah.+ Whether bull or sheep, it already 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 are to become mine. I am Jehovah.”
