Exodus 13:11-13

New King James Version

The Law of the Firstborn

¹¹ “And it shall be, when the Lord ^(A)brings you into the land of the ^(B)Canaanites, as He swore to you and your fathers, and gives it to you, ^12 (C)that you shall ^[a]set apart to the Lord all that open the womb, that is, every firstborn that comes from an animal which you have; the males shall be the Lord’s. ¹³ But ^(D)every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. And all the firstborn of man among your sons ^(E)you shall redeem.
