In context — Exodus 13:15
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh was stubborn about sending us away, that the LORD killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of animals. Therefore I sacrifice to the LORD every male that opens the womb, but I redeem every firstborn of my sons.
