Gill's Notes on the Bible
All the firstling males that come of thy herd, or of thy flock, thou shalt sanctify unto the Lord thy God,.... According to the law in Exodus 13:2.
Exodus 13:2- :;
Exodus 13:2- :;
Exodus 13:2- :;
thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock: as to plough or tread out the corn with it, which were done with other heifers:
nor shear the firstling of thy sheep; nor was the wool shorn of it to be made use of; one of the Jewish canons runs thus,
"if any man weave an hand's breadth of the wool of a firstling into cloth, the cloth is to be burnt l.''
l Misn. Orlah, c. 3. sect. 3.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Compare Exodus 13:11 ff. The directions of the preceding legislation (see Numbers 18:15 ff) are here assumed, with the injunction added, that the animals thus set apart to God Deuteronomy 15:19 were not to be used by their owners for their earthly purposes. It is further allowed that firstborn animals which had a blemish should be regarded as exceptions, and instead of being given to God might be used as food Deuteronomy 15:21-22. The application of the firstborn of cattle is here directed as in Deuteronomy 12:6, Deuteronomy 12:17; Deuteronomy 14:23 : they are to be consumed in the sacred Feasts at the sanctuary.
