Bible verse
You must not hold back offerings from your granaries or vats. You are to give Me the firstborn of your sons.
Exodus 22:29 · BSB
The verses around it, from Exodus 22.
25 If you lend money to one of My people among you who is poor, you must not act as a creditor to him; you are not to charge him interest.
26 If you take your neighbor’s cloak as collateral, return it to him by sunset,
27 because his cloak is the only covering he has for his body. What else will he sleep in? And if he cries out to Me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.
28 You must not blaspheme God or curse the ruler of your people.
29 You must not hold back offerings from your granaries or vats. You are to give Me the firstborn of your sons.
30 You shall do likewise with your cattle and your sheep. Let them stay with their mothers for seven days, but on the eighth day you are to give them to Me.
31 You are to be My holy people. You must not eat the meat of a mauled animal found in the field; you are to throw it to the dogs.
