13:11 Offering up the oldest children
11 Later, when Yahweh brings you into the land of the Canaanites as he promised to you and your ancestors, and he gives it to you, 12 then hand over to Yahweh all oldest children, and all the oldest animal offspring that are yours. The males are for Yahweh.[ref] 13 In 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, 14 and 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. 15 And 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.’ 16 So 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.”
Exo 34:19-20:
19 All of your eldest male offspring belong to me, including your sons and the first males born from your cattle and sheep and goats.[ref] 20 If it’s a male donkey, a lamb can be given as a ransom instead, but if you don’t pay a ransom then you must kill the donkey. It’s compulsory to ransom your eldest sons. Don’t come to worship me without bringing something.[ref]
Luk 2:23:
23 [ref]to follow what is written in Yahweh’s law: Every firstborn male is set aside for Yahweh
