^12 (A)you shall set apart to the Lord all that first opens the womb. All the firstborn of your animals that are males shall be the Lord's.

¹⁵ For when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the ^(A)Lord killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of animals. Therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all the males that first open the womb, but ^(B)all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.’
