Exodus 34:20

Covenant Stipulations

¹⁹ Every first male child is mine; the first male birth of your cattle, the first male of every ox and sheep. ²⁰ A lamb may be given in payment for the young of an ass, but if you will not make payment for it, its neck will have to be broken. For all the first of your sons you are to make payment. No one is to come before me without an offering. ²¹ Six days let work be done, but on the seventh day take your rest: at ploughing time and at the grain-cutting you are to have a day for rest.
