Exodus 13:2

קַדֶּשׁ-לִי כָל-בְּכוֹר פֶּטֶר כָּל-רֶחֶם בִּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בָּֽאָדָם וּבַבְּהֵמָה לִי הֽוּא׃
2
Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.

Numbers 3:13

כִּי לִי כָּל-בְּכוֹר בְּיוֹם הַכֹּתִי כָל-בְּכוֹר בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם הִקְדַּשְׁתִּי לִי כָל-בְּכוֹר בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל מֵֽאָדָם עַד-בְּהֵמָה לִי יִֽהְיוּ אֲנִי יְהוָֽה׃
13
Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am the LORD.

Exodus 22:29

מְלֵאָֽתְךָ וְדִמְעֲךָ לֹא תְאַחֵר בְּכוֹר בָּנֶיךָ תִּתֶּן-לִּֽי׃
29
Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.

Exodus 34:19

כָּל-פֶּטֶר רֶחֶם לִי וְכָֽל-מִקְנְךָ תִּזָּכָר פֶּטֶר שׁוֹר וָשֶֽׂה׃
19
All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.

Numbers 18:15

כָּל-פֶּטֶר רֶחֶם לְֽכָל-בָּשָׂר אֲשֶׁר-יַקְרִיבוּ לַֽיהוָה בָּֽאָדָם וּבַבְּהֵמָה יִֽהְיֶה-לָּךְ אַךְ׀ פָּדֹה תִפְדֶּה אֵת בְּכוֹר הָֽאָדָם וְאֵת בְּכֽוֹר-הַבְּהֵמָה הַטְּמֵאָה תִּפְדֶּֽה׃
15
Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the LORD, whether it be of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.

Numbers 8:16

כִּי נְתֻנִים נְתֻנִים הֵמָּה לִי מִתּוֹךְ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל תַּחַת פִּטְרַת כָּל-רֶחֶם בְּכוֹר כֹּל מִבְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לָקַחְתִּי אֹתָם לִֽי׃
16
For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.

Exodus 13:12

וְהַֽעֲבַרְתָּ כָל-פֶּֽטֶר-רֶחֶם לַֽיהוָֹה וְכָל-פֶּטֶר׀ שֶׁגֶר בְּהֵמָה אֲשֶׁר יִֽהְיֶה לְךָ הַזְּכָרִים לַֽיהוָֽה׃
12
That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be the LORD's.
