18 It shall not seem hard to you when you send him away free from you; for he has been worth aa double hired servant in serving you six years. Then the Lord your God will bless you in all that you do.
The Law Concerning Firstborn Animals
19 a“All the firstborn males that come from your herd and your flock you shall1 sanctify to the Lord your God; you shall do no work with the firstborn of your herd, nor shear the firstborn of your flock.
20 aYou and your household shall eat it before the Lord your God year by year in the place which the Lord chooses.
21 aBut if there is a defect in it, if it is lame or blind or has any serious defect, you shall not sacrifice it to the Lord your God.
22 You may eat it within your gates; athe unclean and the clean person alike may eat it, as if it were a gazelle or a deer.
