² “Dedicate to me every firstborn among the Israelites. The first offspring to be born, of both humans and animals, belongs to me.”

¹⁹ “The firstborn of every animal belongs to me, including the firstborn males^[a] from your herds of cattle and your flocks of sheep and goats.

¹³ for all the firstborn males are mine. On the day I struck down all the firstborn sons of the Egyptians, I set apart for myself all the firstborn in Israel, both of people and of animals. They are mine; I am the Lord.”
