Deuteronomy 15:18-20

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁸ Do not regard it as a hardship^[a] when you set him free, because he worked for you six years—worth twice the wages of a hired hand. Then the Lord your God will bless you in everything you do.^(A)

Consecration of Firstborn Animals

¹⁹ “You must consecrate to the Lord your God every firstborn male produced by your herd and flock.^(B) You are not to put the firstborn of your oxen to work or shear the firstborn of your flock. ²⁰ Each year you and your family are to eat it before the Lord your God in the place the Lord chooses.
