Every firstling<n id="1" /> of a donkey you must redeem<n id="2" /> with a lamb, and if you do not redeem it, then you must break its neck.<n id="3" /> Every firstborn of<n id="4" /> your sons you must redeem.p>

Now the firstling<n id="1" /> of a donkey you may redeem with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, then break its neck.<n id="2" /> You must redeem all the firstborn of your sons.p> <p class="bodytext">&#8220;No one will appear before me empty-handed.<n id="3" />p>

<n id="1" /><p class="poetry">Zion will be freed by justice,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">and her returnees by righteousness.<n id="3" />p>

The firstborn of every womb which they present to the <sc>Lordsc>, whether human or animal, will be yours. Nevertheless, the firstborn sons you must redeem,<n id="1" /> and the firstborn males of unclean animals you must redeem.

And those that must be redeemed you are to redeem when they are a month old, according to your estimation, for five shekels of silver according to the sanctuary shekel (which is twenty gerahs).

But you must not redeem the firstborn of a cow or a sheep or a goat; they are holy. You must splash<n id="1" /> their blood on the altar and burn their fat for an offering made by fire for a pleasing aroma to the <sc>Lordsc>.
