Offering up the oldest children

Exo 13:11–16

13:11 Offering up the oldest children

11Later, when Yahweh brings you into the land of the Canaanites as he promised to you and your ancestors, and he gives it to you, 12then hand over to Yahweh all oldest children, and all the oldest animal offspring that are yours. The males are for Yahweh.[ref] 13In the case of the oldest donkey foal, you must buy it back by killing a lamb instead of it. If you don’t buy it back, you must kill the donkey by breaking its neck. You must buy back every one of your oldest sons, 14and in the future when your son asks you, ‘What’s that about?’ then you must tell him, ‘We were enslaved in Egypt, but Yahweh used his incredible power to bring us out. 15And so it was that when Far’oh was too stubborn to let us go, then Yahweh struck all of the oldest sons and oldest male animals in Egypt. That’s why we offer all the oldest offspring to Yahweh, and why we need to buy back all our oldest sons.’ 16So you must place a reminder on your hand and hanging on your forehead that Yahweh used his incredible power to bring us out of Egypt.”
