Leviticus 27:26

¶ Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD'S firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether [it be] ox, or sheep: it [is] the LORD'S.

Only the firstling {H1060} of the beasts {H929}, which should be the LORD'S {H3068} firstling {H1069}, no man {H376} shall sanctify {H6942} it; whether it be ox {H7794}, or sheep {H7716}: it is the LORD'S {H3068}.

"'However, the firstborn among animals, since it is already born as a firstborn for ADONAI, no one can consecrate -neither ox nor sheep -since it belongs to ADONAI already.

But no one may consecrate a firstborn of the livestock, because a firstborn belongs to the LORD. Whether it is an ox or a sheep, it is the LORD’s.

Only the firstling among beasts, which is made a firstling to Jehovah, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox or sheep, it is Jehovah’s.
