All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.

Verse 19 is found in chapter 15 of Deuteronomy. The firstborn of livestock are consecrated to the Lord and must not be used for ordinary labor or shorn in the usual way. An animal without defect may be eaten before the Lord, while a defective one cannot be offered as a sacrifice. The legislation distinguishes everyday use from cultic dedication, preserving the integrity of what belongs to God.

Alle Erstgeburt, die unter deinen Rindern und Schafen geboren wird, was ein Männlein ist, sollst du dem HERRN, deinem Gott, heiligen. Du sollst nicht ackern mit dem Erstling deiner Ochsen und nicht scheren die Erstlinge deiner Schafe.
Santificarás a Jehová tu Dios todo primerizo macho que nacerá de tus vacas y de tus ovejas: no te sirvas del primerizo de tus vacas, ni trasquiles el primerizo de tus ovejas.
Consagrarás a Jehová tu Dios todo primogénito macho que nazca de tus vacas y de tus rebaños. No harás trabajar al primogénito de tus vacas ni esquilarás el primogénito de tus rebaños.
Tu consacreras à l'Eternel, ton Dieu, tout premier-né mâle qui naîtra dans ton gros et dans ton menu bétail. Tu ne travailleras point avec le premier-né de ton boeuf, et tu ne tondras point le premier-né de tes brebis.
CONSACRA al Signore Iddio tuo ogni primogenito maschio che ti nascerà del tuo grosso o minuto bestiame; non lavorar la terra col primogenito della tua vacca, e non tosare il primogenito della tua pecora.
Todo o primogênito que nascer das tuas vacas e das tuas ovelhas, o macho santificarás ao SENHOR teu Deus; com o primogênito do teu boi não trabalharás, nem tosquiarás o primogênito das tuas ovelhas.
「你牛群羊群中頭生的,凡是公的,都要分別為聖,歸給耶和華-你的上帝。頭生的牛,不可用牠來耕作;頭生的羊,不可剪牠的毛。
