Firstborn » Of man and beast, reserved to himself by God
because every firstborn is mine. The day I killed every firstborn male in Egypt, I set apart as holy every firstborn in Israel, whether human or animal. They will be mine. I am Jehovah.
Consecrate (appoint) (sanctify) all the first-born males to me. Every first-born male Israelite and every first-born male animal belongs to me!
sacrifice every firstborn male offspring to Jehovah. The firstborn male offspring of each of your animals belongs to Jehovah. It will cost you a sheep or a goat to buy any firstborn donkey back from Jehovah. You must break the donkey's neck if you do not buy it back. You must also buy every firstborn son back from Jehovah. In the future when your children ask you, 'What does this mean?' tell them: 'Jehovah used his mighty hand to bring us out of slavery in Egypt.'' read more.
Pharaoh was too stubborn to let us go. Because of this every firstborn male in Egypt-human and animal was killed. This is why we sacrifice every firstborn male to Jehovah and buy every firstborn son back from Jehovah. This festival will be like a mark on your hand and like a band on your forehead, because Jehovah used his mighty hand to bring us out of Egypt.

Do not delay the offering from your harvest and your vintage. Give the firstborn of your sons to me. Do the same with your oxen and with your sheep. Its mother may keep it for seven days. On the eighth day give it to me.
Every first male offspring is mine. The firstborn males of all your livestock, whether cattle, sheep, or goats are mine. It will cost you a sheep or a goat to buy back the firstborn donkey. If you do not buy it back, then you must break the donkey's neck. You must buy back every firstborn of your sons. No one may come into my presence without an offering.
A firstborn animal already belongs to Jehovah because it was born first. Therefore, it cannot be set apart as holy. Whether it is a bull or a sheep, it belongs to Jehovah.
When I killed all the first-born in Egypt, I consecrated as my own the oldest son of each Israelite family and the first-born of every animal. I am now taking the Levites instead of all the first-born of the Israelites.
To Jehovah your God you shall consecrate all the firstborn males that are born of your herd and of your flock; you shall not work with the firstborn of your herd, nor shear the firstborn of your flock. You and your household shall eat it every year before Jehovah your God in the place Jehovah chooses. If it has any defect, such as lameness or blindness, or any serious defect, you shall not sacrifice it to Jehovah your God. read more.
Eat it within your gates. The unclean and the clean alike may eat it, as a gazelle or a deer. Do not eat its blood! Pour it out on the ground like water.
