And every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck: and all the firstborn of man among your children shall you redeem.
Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for a house:
But the firstling of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb: and if you do not redeem him, then shall you break his neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
These are those who were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
