Exegesis
The successive prepositional phrases bivnei yisrael {בִּבְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל | bivnē yiśrāʾēl}, ba-adam {בָּאָדָ֖ם | bāʾāḏām}, and uva-behema {וּבַבְּהֵמָ֑ה | ūvabhehemā} narrow the scope from the Israelite community to humans and then to animals.
In context — Exodus 13:2
Consecrate to Me every firstborn , the one who opens every womb among the sons of Israel, both of man and of beast; it is Mine.
