You are to give over to the Lord the first
offspring of every womb. All the
firstborn males of your livestock belong
to the Lord. [13] Redeem with a lamb

redeem it, break its neck. Redeem every
firstborn among your sons.

own love for us in this:
While we were still sinners,
Christ died for us.

life will lose it, but whoever
loses his life for me will find it.

land you shall bring into the
house of the Lord your God.

And with the firstfruits of all your increase;
[10] So your barns will be filled with plenty,
And your vats will overflow with new wine.

8. Malachi 3:8-9 NKJV
"Will a man rob God?
Yet you have robbed Me
But you say,
'In what way have we robbed You?'
In tithes and offerings.
[9] You are cursed with a curse,
For you have robbed Me,
Even this whole nation.

9. Exodus 13:14-15 NKJV
So it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come,
saying, 'What is this?' that you shall say to him, 'By
strength of hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt,
out of the house of bondage. [15] And it came to
pass, when Pharaoh was stubborn about letting us
go, that the Lord killed all the firstborn in the land of
Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of
beast. Therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all males that
open the womb, but all the firstborn of my sons I
redeem.'
