Exodus 13:11 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 13:11

And it shall be when the Lord shall bring thee into the land
of the Canaanites
Put for all the rest of the nations: as he sware unto thee, and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee;
to them as they were in their loins, and from thence might certainly conclude it would be given them.

Exodus 13:11 In-Context

9 "The day of observance will be like a sign on your hand, a memorial between your eyes, and the teaching of God in your mouth. It was with a powerful hand that God brought you out of Egypt.
10 Follow these instructions at the set time, year after year after year.
11 "When God brings you into the land of the Canaanites, as he promised you and your fathers, and turns it over to you,
12 you are to set aside the first birth out of every womb to God. Every first birth from your livestock belongs to God.
13 You can redeem every first birth of a donkey if you want to by substituting a lamb; if you decide not to redeem it, you must break its neck.
