Deuteronomy 15:18-20

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁸ Do not think that it will be difficult for you if he goes free. Remember that he has served you well for six years. He has been worth twice as much as a servant that you pay to do your work. The Lord your God will bless you in everything that you do.

The first animals that are born

¹⁹ You must keep separate every firstborn male animal that is born from your cows, sheep or goats. They belong to the Lord your God. Do not make these firstborn animals do any work for you. Do not cut off the wool from your firstborn sheep. ²⁰ Each year, you and your family must take these animals to the place that the Lord your God will choose. Eat them there, at the Lord's special home.
