The First-Born Cattle and Sheep (DEU 15:19-23)

[15:19] “Set aside for the Lord your God all the first-born males of your cattle and sheep; don't use any of these cattle for work and don't shear any of these sheep.

[15:20] Each year you and your family are to eat them in the Lord's presence at the one place of worship.

[15:21] But if there is anything wrong with the animals, if they are crippled or blind or have any other serious defect, you must not sacrifice them to the Lord your God.

[15:22] You may eat such animals at home. All of you, whether ritually clean or unclean, may eat them, just as you eat deer or antelope.

[15:23] But do not use their blood for food; instead, you must pour it out on the ground like water.
