Exegesis

The clause yihyeh immo {יִהְיֶה עִם־אִמּוֹ | yi·hîyəh ʿim-’immō} ‘it shall be with its mother’ emphasizes maternal proximity, while the adverbial ba-yom ha-shemini {בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁמִינִי | bā-yôm haššəmînî} ‘on the eighth day’ introduces the shift to tittenenu li {תִּתְּנֶנּוּ לִי | tittənenû lî} ‘you shall give it to Me’, affirming divine claim. The parallel ox/flock construction and precise temporal framing form an inclusio that underscores the obligation of firstborn dedication.

In context — Exodus 22:30

In this way you shall do with your ox and with your flock: for seven days it shall be with its mother ; on the eighth day you shall give it to Me .
