Deuteronomy 15:19-23

Modern English Version

The Firstborn Animals

¹⁹ You must sanctify all the firstborn males that come out of your herd and flock to the Lord your God. You must do no work with the firstborn of your bulls or shear the firstborn of your sheep. ²⁰ You shall eat it before the Lord your God year by year in the place where the Lord shall choose, you and your household. ²¹ If there is any defect in it, if it is lame or blind or has a serious defect, you shall not sacrifice it to the Lord your God. ²² You shall eat it within your gates. The unclean and the clean person alike shall eat it, as if it were a gazelle or a deer. ²³ Only you must not eat its blood. You shall pour it on the ground like water.
