Exodus 22:28-31
American Standard Version
28 Thou shalt not revile [a]God, nor curse a ruler of thy people. 29 Thou shalt not delay to offer of [b]thy harvest, and of the outflow of thy presses. The first-born of thy sons shalt thou give unto me. 30 Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with its dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me. 31 And ye shall be holy men unto me: therefore ye shall not eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
