matrix 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. matrix And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the {matrix}, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem. matrix All that openeth the {matrix} [is] mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, [whether] ox or sheep, [that is male]. matrix And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the {matrix} among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine; matrix 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. ~~~~~~
