Deuteronomy 15:19-21

Christian Standard Bible

Consecration of Firstborn Animals

¹⁹ “Consecrate to the Lord your God every firstborn male produced by your herd and flock.^(A) 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. ²¹ But if there is a defect in the animal, if it is lame or blind or has any serious defect, you may not sacrifice it to the Lord your God.
