Deuteronomy 15:19

¶ All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.

All the firstling {H1060} males {H2145} that come {H3205} of thy herd {H1241} and of thy flock {H6629} thou shalt sanctify {H6942} unto the LORD {H3068} thy God {H430}: thou shalt do no work {H5647} with the firstling {H1060} of thy bullock {H7794}, nor shear {H1494} the firstling {H1060} of thy sheep {H6629}.

"All the firstborn males in your herd of cattle and in your flock you are to set aside for ADONAI your God; you are not to do any work with a firstborn from your herd or shear a firstborn sheep.

You must set apart to the LORD your God every firstborn male produced by your herds and flocks. You are not to put the firstborn of your oxen to work, nor are you to shear the firstborn of your flock.

All the firstling males that are born of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto Jehovah thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy herd, nor shear the firstling of thy flock.
