Exodus 13:12

The Dedication of the Firstborn

11And after the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites and gives it to you, as He swore to you and your fathers,12you are to present to the LORD the firstborn male of every womb. All the firstborn males of your livestock belong to the LORD.13You must redeem every firstborn donkey with a lamb, and if you do not redeem it, you are to break its neck. And every firstborn of your sons you must redeem.
