Numbers 3:14
"for all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I made holy to me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and animal. They shall be mine. I am the LORD.”"
Key Reflection
In Numbers 3:14, God declares that He owns all the firstborn males, whether human or animal, as a result of His act of judgment in Egypt where He killed every firstborn in the land to demonstrate His power and save Israel. This principle is rooted in the Exodus event, where God's intervention made these firstborns sacred to Him, setting them apart for special purposes in His service.
