Exodus 22:28-31

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁸ “Never show disrespect for God or curse a leader of your people.

²⁹ “Never withhold your best wine from me.

“You must give me your firstborn son. ³⁰ You must do the same with your cattle and your sheep. They will stay with their mothers seven days, but on the eighth day you must give them to me.

³¹ “You must be my holy people. Never eat the meat of an animal that has been killed by wild animals out in the countryside. Throw it to the dogs.”
