Akan tetapi anak sulung, yang sebagai anak sulung menjadi hak TUHAN dari antara hewan, tidak boleh dikuduskan oleh siapapun, baik seekor lembu maupun seekor kambing atau domba, itu milik TUHAN.
Arakian, maka segala binatang yang diperanakkan mula-mula, yang Tuhan punya sebab sulungnya, janganlah ia itu dinazarkan orang; baik ia itu dari pada lembu atau dari pada kambing domba, Tuhan juga yang empunya dia.

Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
the firstling: Heb. first born, etc. As these firstlings were the Lord's before, it would have been a solemn mockery to pretend to make them a matter of a singular vow; for they were already appointed, if clean, to be sacrificed.
which: Exodus 13:2, Exodus 13:12, Exodus 13:13, Exodus 22:30, Numbers 18:17, Deuteronomy 15:19
Reciprocal: Numbers 3:13 - Because Numbers 8:17 - I sanctified Numbers 18:15 - openeth 2 Kings 7:5 - behold 1 Chronicles 6:28 - firstborn Nehemiah 10:36 - the firstborn
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Only the firstlings of the beasts,.... These are excepted from being sanctified, or set apart for sacred uses, for a very good reason, suggested in the next clause:
which should be the Lord's firstling, no man shall sanctify it; it being what he has a claim upon, and ordered to be sanctified to him by a law previous to this, Exodus 13:2; wherefore to sanctify such a creature, would be to sanctify what was his before; not merely in a general sense, in which all creatures are his, but in a special sense, having in a peculiar manner required it as his; and therefore to sanctify, or vow to him, what was his before, must be trifling with him, and mocking of him:
whether [it be] ox, or sheep; the firstlings of either of them:
it [is] the Lord's; which he has claimed as his own special and peculiar property, antecedent to any vow of its owner.
