“But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty. lamb: or, kid”
Exodus 34:20 (KJV)
Commentary on Exodus 34:20
Donkeys (חֲמוֹר, chamor), being unclean animals, could not be sacrificed but must be redeemed with a lamb or have their necks broken. The redemption price parallels human firstborn redemption—unclean man must be redeemed by a clean substitute (the Lamb of God, John 1:29). The command not to 'appear before me empty' requires bringing an offering, acknowledging God's provision and lordship.
