Also the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the law, and the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our God, to the priests that minister in the house of our God:
And the first of all the first fruits of all things, and every offering of all, of every sort of your offerings, shall be the priest’s: you shall also give to the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in your house.
And alongside the border of the priests the Levites shall have twenty five thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be twenty five thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.
You shall not eat of anything that dies of itself: you shall give it to the stranger that is in your gates, that he may eat it; or you may sell it to an alien: for you are a holy people unto the LORD your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.
And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which you, O LORD, have given me. And you shall set it before the LORD your God, and worship before the LORD your God:
That you shall take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which you shall bring of your land that the LORD your God gives you, and shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which the LORD your God shall choose to place his name there.
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.
