You must not lie carnally with any animal, thus defiling yourself with it; a woman must not stand before an animal to mate with it; that is a perversion.

You are to keep My statutes. You shall not crossbreed two different kinds of livestock; you shall not sow your fields with two kinds of seed; and you shall not wear clothing made of two kinds of material.

If a man lies carnally with an animal, he must be put to death. And you are also to kill the animal.

If a woman approaches any animal to mate with it, you must kill both the woman and the animal. They must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.

You are therefore to distinguish between clean and unclean animals and birds. Do not become contaminated by any animal or bird, or by anything that crawls on the ground; I have set these apart as unclean for you.

Whoever kills an animal must make restitution—life for life.

Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a man must be put to death.

…and for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. All its growth may serve as food.

I will send wild animals against you to rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and reduce your numbers, until your roads lie desolate.

If he vows an animal that may be brought as an offering to the LORD, any such animal given to the LORD shall be holy.

He must not replace it or exchange it, either good for bad or bad for good. But if he does substitute one animal for another, both that animal and its substitute will be holy.

But if the vow involves any of the unclean animals that may not be brought as an offering to the LORD, the animal must be presented before the priest.

But no one may consecrate a firstborn of the livestock, because a firstborn belongs to the LORD. Whether it is an ox or a sheep, it is the LORD’s.

But if it is among the unclean animals, then he may redeem it according to your valuation and add a fifth of its value. If it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.

Nothing that a man sets apart to the LORD from all he owns—whether a man, an animal, or his inherited land—can be sold or redeemed; everything so devoted is most holy to the LORD.

…for all the firstborn are Mine. On the day I struck down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I consecrated to Myself all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast. They are Mine; I am the LORD.”

You are to take the Levites for Me—I am the LORD—in place of all the firstborn of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of all the firstborn of the livestock of the Israelites.”

“Take the Levites in place of all the firstborn of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of their livestock. The Levites belong to Me; I am the LORD.

For every firstborn male in Israel is Mine, both man and beast. I set them apart for Myself on the day I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt.

The firstborn of every womb, whether man or beast, that is offered to the LORD belongs to you. But you must surely redeem every firstborn son and every firstborn male of unclean animals.

The Israelites captured the Midianite women and their children, and they plundered all their herds, flocks, and goods.

…and carried away all the plunder and spoils, both people and animals.

“You and Eleazar the priest and the family heads of the congregation are to take a count of what was captured, both of man and beast.

From the Israelites’ half, take one out of every fifty, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, sheep, or other animals, and give them to the Levites who keep charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.”

From the Israelites’ half, Moses took one out of every fifty persons and animals and gave them to the Levites who kept charge of the tabernacle of the LORD, as the LORD had commanded him.

Our children, our wives, our livestock, and all our animals will remain here in the cities of Gilead.

The cities will be for them to live in, and the pasturelands will be for their herds, their flocks, and all their other livestock.

We carried off for ourselves only the livestock and the plunder from the cities we captured.

But all the livestock and plunder of the cities we carried off for ourselves.

…of any beast that is on the earth or bird that flies in the air,

…but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, on which you must not do any work—neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your ox or donkey or any of your livestock, nor the foreigner within your gates, so that your manservant and maidservant may rest as you do.

You will be blessed above all peoples; among you there will be no barren man or woman or livestock.

And I will provide grass in the fields for your livestock, and you will eat and be satisfied.

…you must surely put the inhabitants of that city to the sword. Devote to destruction all its people and livestock.

These are the animals that you may eat: The ox, the sheep, the goat,

You may eat any animal that has a split hoof divided in two and that chews the cud.

But the women, children, livestock, and whatever else is in the city—all its spoil—you may take as plunder, and you shall use the spoil of your enemies that the LORD your God gives you.

‘Cursed is he who lies with any animal.’ And let all the people say, ‘Amen!’

The fruit of your womb will be blessed, as well as the produce of your land and the offspring of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.

The LORD will make you prosper abundantly—in the fruit of your womb, the offspring of your livestock, and the produce of your land—in the land that the LORD swore to your fathers to give you.

Your corpses will be food for all the birds of the air and beasts of the earth, with no one to scare them away.
