Exegesis
The repetition of vereshit {וְרֵאשִׁ֛ית | wə-rē-šîṯ} ‘and the first’ applies the same priority to the fleece gez {גֵּ֥ז | gēz} ‘fleece, shearing’ of the sheep tsonkha {צֹאנְךָ֖ | ṣō-ʾānə-ḵā}, reinforcing the concept of best produce.
In context — Deuteronomy 18:4
The first of your grain, your new wine, and your oil, and the first fleece of your sheep, you shall give to him.
