All the firstling males that come of thy herd, or of thy flock, thou shalt sanctify unto the Lord thy God, etc.] According to the law in (<021302>Exodus 13:2,12,13). thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock: as to plough or tread out the corn with it, which were done with other heifers: nor shear the firstling of thy sheep; nor was the wool shorn of it to be made use of; one of the Jewish canons runs thus, “if any man weave an hand’s breadth of the wool of a firstling into cloth, the cloth is to be burnt f171.”
