NLTNew Living Translation

“The firstborn of every animal belongs to me, including the firstborn males from your herds of cattle and your flocks of sheep and goats.

However, you must buy back every firstborn son.

“No one may appear before me without an offering.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Every first offspring of a womb is for me—all of your male livestock, the first offspring of cattle and small livestock. But the first offspring of a donkey you will redeem with small livestock, and if you will not redeem it, you will break its neck. Every firstborn of your sons you will redeem, and you will not appear before me empty-handed.

KJV 1900King James Version

All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male. But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
