and it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that Jehovah slew all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both the first-born of man, and the first-born of beast: therefore I sacrifice to Jehovah all that openeth the womb, being males; but all the first-born of my sons I redeem.

And when Pharaoh made his heart hard and would not let us go, the Lord sent death on all the first sons in Egypt, of man and of beast: and so every first male who comes to birth is offered to the Lord; but for all the first of my sons I give a price.

και οτε ο Φαραω επεμεινεν εις το να μη μας εξαποστειλη, ο Κυριος εθανατωσε παν πρωτοτοκον εν τη γη της Αιγυπτου, απο πρωτοτοκου ανθρωπου εως πρωτοτοκου κτηνους· δια τουτο θυσιαζω εις τον Κυριον παν αρσενικον το οποιον ανοιγει την μητραν, και παν πρωτοτοκον των υιων μου εξαγοραζω.

And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the Lord slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.
