The law concerning the first-born of cattle (not to be ploughed with) and sheep (not to be shorn) (see Exodus 13:11 *, Exodus 22:29 f.*, Exodus 34:19 f. (all JE), and Numbers 18:15 * (P)). The older laws are here modified to suit the law of one sanctuary, where alone the sacrificial family meal is now to be eaten. Exodus 22:30 cannot therefore be carried out. P reserves all the flesh for the priesthood (Deuteronomy 14:22 *).

Deuteronomy 15:22. See Deuteronomy 12:15.
