'First' in the Bible

On the first day of the eleventh month, in the fortieth year, Moses spoke to the Israelis about everything that the LORD had commanded him concerning them.

I fell down in the LORD's presence, just as I had the first 40 days and nights. I did not eat food or drink water because of your sin. You had sinned by committing this evil in the sight of the LORD, thereby provoking him to anger.

"At that time, the LORD told me, "Chisel two tablets of stone for yourself just like the first ones, and then come up to me on the mountain. Also make for yourself a wooden chest.

I'll write on the tablets what was on the first tablets that you broke. Then place them in the wooden chest.'

So I made a chest out of acacia wood and chiseled two tablets of stones just like the first ones. Then I went up the mountain with the two tablets in my hands.

When I stood on the mountain for 40 days and 40 nights as I did the first time, the LORD listened to me once again. The LORD was not willing to destroy you.

But you must surely execute him. You must be the first to put him to death with your own hand, and then the hands of the whole community.

Yeast is not to be seen in any of your territories for seven days. The meat is not to remain from the evening of the first day until morning.

"Count off seven weeks from when the sickle is first put to standing grain.

Let the witnesses be the first to begin executing them, then the rest of the people shall follow. By doing this you will purge evil from among you."

Give them the first gatherings of your grain, wine, and oil, as well as wool from the shearing of your flock.

her first husband who married her and divorced her earlier must not remarry her, because she was defiled, since this is detestable to the LORD. Don't defile the land that the LORD your God is about to give you as a possession.

Gather all the first produce of the ground that you harvest from your land that the LORD your God is about to give you, place it in a basket, and bring it to the place where the LORD your God will choose to establish his name.

Now, look I brought the first produce of the land that you, LORD, have given me.'
