"Bring the best of the firstfruits of your land to the house of the LORD your God. "You must not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.

you must take some of the first of all the soil's produce that you harvest from the land the LORD your God is giving you and put [it] in a container. Then go to the place where the LORD your God chooses to have His name dwell.

I have now brought the first of the land's produce that You, LORD, have given me. You will then place the container before the LORD your God and bow down to Him.

Honor the LORD with your possessions and with the first produce of your entire harvest;

then your barns will be completely filled, and your vats will overflow with new wine.

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you.

But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

By His own choice, He gave us a new birth by the message of truth so that we would be the firstfruits of His creatures.

"Bring the best of the firstfruits of your land to the house of the LORD your God. "You must not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.

"You are not to eat any carcass; you may give it to a resident alien within your gates, and he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a holy people belonging to the LORD your God. You must not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.
