And they rose up in the twilight, to go to the camp of the Syrians: and when they had come to the farthest part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there.
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 if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to your estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it to it: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your estimation.
But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, you shall not redeem; they are holy: you shall sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shall burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savor unto the LORD.
Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am the LORD.
All the firstling males that come of your herd and of your flock you shall sanctify to the LORD your God: you shall do no work with the firstling of your bullock, nor shear the firstling of your sheep.
