²⁹ “You shall not delay to offer ^(A)the first of your ripe produce and your juices. ^(B)The firstborn of your sons you shall give to Me.

^16 (A)and the Feast of Harvest, the firstfruits of your labors which you have sown in the field; and ^(B)the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you have gathered in the fruit of your labors from the field.

^2 (A)“Consecrate^[a] to Me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and beast; it is Mine.”

^18 (A)Of His own will He brought us forth by the ^(B)word of truth, ^(C)that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.

³³ But ^(A)seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

^2 (A)that you shall take some of the first of all the produce of the ground, which you shall bring from your land that the Lord your God is giving you, and put it in a basket and ^(B)go to the place where the Lord your God chooses to make His name abide. ³ And you shall go to the one who is priest in those days, and say to him, ‘I declare today to the Lord ^[a]your God that I have come to the country which the Lord swore to our fathers to give us.’

⁴ “Then the priest shall take the basket out of your hand and set it down before the altar of the Lord your God. ⁵ And you shall answer and say before the Lord your God: ‘My father was ^(C)a ^[b]Syrian, ^(D)about to perish, and ^(E)he went down to Egypt and ^[c]dwelt there, ^(F)few in number; and there he became a nation, ^(G)great, mighty, and populous. ⁶ But the ^(H)Egyptians mistreated us, afflicted us, and laid hard bondage on us. ^7 (I)Then we cried out to the Lord God of our fathers, and the Lord heard our voice and looked on our affliction and our labor and our oppression. ⁸ So ^(J)the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm, ^(K)with great terror and with signs and wonders. ⁹ He has brought us to this place and has given us this land, ^(L)“a land flowing with milk and honey”; ¹⁰ and now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land which you, O Lord, have given me.’

“Then you shall set it before the Lord your God, and worship before the Lord your God.

^19 (A)The first of the firstfruits of your land you shall bring into the house of the Lord your God. ^(B)You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.

^12 (A)that you shall ^[a]set apart to the Lord all that open the womb, that is, every firstborn that comes from an animal which you have; the males shall be the Lord’s.
