Bible References

Every

Sanctify to Me every first-born, opening any womb among the sons of Israel, among man and among beast; it is Mine.'

'Thy fulness and thy liquids thou dost not delay; the first-born of thy sons thou dost give to Me;

All opening a womb are Mine, and every firstling of thy cattle born a male, ox or sheep;

for Mine is every first-born, in the day of My smiting every first-born in the land of Egypt I have sanctified to Myself every first-born in Israel, from man unto beast; Mine they are; I am Jehovah.'

For they are certainly given to Me out of the midst of the sons of Israel, instead of him who openeth any womb -- the first-born of all -- from the sons of Israel I have taken them to Myself;

every one opening a womb of all flesh which they bring near to Jehovah, among man and among beast, is thine; only, thou dost certainly ransom the first-born of man, and the firstling of the unclean beast thou dost ransom.
