Exodus 34:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ “Every creature that is the firstborn from its mother’s womb belongs to me: every firstborn bull, every firstborn cattle and sheep. ²⁰ The firstborn of a donkey will be redeemed with a lamb. If you do not redeem it, you are to break its neck. All of your firstborn sons are to be redeemed.

“None is to appear before me empty-handed.

²¹ “For six days you may work, but on the seventh you must rest. Even during plowing season and the harvest, you must rest.
