18 Let it not grieve thee, when thou lettest him go out free from thee: for he hath served thee six years, which is the double worth of [a]an hired servant: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest.

19 (A)All the firstborn males that come of thy cattle, and of thy sheep, thou shalt sanctify unto the Lord thy God. [b]Thou shalt do no work with thy firstborn bullock, nor shear thy firstborn sheep.

20 Thou shalt eat it before the Lord thy God year by year, in the place which the Lord shall choose, both thou, and thine household.
