Exodus 34:19 (KJV)
Commentary on Exodus 34:19
The principle of firstborn consecration establishes that all life belongs to God—He has 'opening rights' to every womb (פֶּטֶר רֶחֶם, peter rechem). Firstborn males of both humans and livestock must be dedicated to God, though human firstborn are redeemed (פָּדָה, padah) rather than sacrificed. This principle commemorates God's sparing of Israel's firstborn in Egypt and points to Christ, God's Firstborn Son (Col 1:15, 18).
