15 And it was that Pharaoh made himself hard to send· us ·away, and Jehovah killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of man and even·​·to the firstborn of the beast; therefore I sacrifice to Jehovah all that opens·​·up the womb, being males; and all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.
