Exo 13:1 And
יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Exo 13:2 “Set apart to Me all the
first-born, the one opening the womb among the children of Yisra’ĕl, among man
and among beast, it is Mine.”
ב קַדֶּשׁ-לִי כָל-בְּכוֹר
פֶּטֶר כָּל-רֶחֶם, בִּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל--בָּאָדָם, וּבַבְּהֵמָה: לִי,
הוּא.

2 'Set
apart unto Me all the first-born, whatsoever openeth the womb among the
children of Israel, both of man and of beast, it is Mine.'

To put this into messianic context we read:
Col 1:15
who is the likeness of the invisible Elohim, the first-born of all
creation.1 Footnote: 1Heb. 1:6, Rev. 3:14.
Col 1:16
Because in Him were created all that are in the heavens and that are on
earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or rulerships or principalities
or authorities – all have been created through Him and for Him.
Col 1:17
And He is before all, and in Him all hold together.
Col 1:18
And He is the Head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the
first-born from the dead, that He might become the
One who is first in all.
Col 1:19
Because in Him all the completeness was well pleased to dwell,
Col 1:20
and through Him to completely restore to favour all unto Himself,
whether on earth or in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of His
stake.
Col 1:21
And you, who once were estranged and enemies in the mind by wicked
works, but now He has completely restored to favour
Col 1:22
in the body of His flesh through death, to present you set-apart, and
blameless, and unreprovable before Him,
Col 1:23
if indeed you continue in the belief, founded and steadfast, and are not
moved away from the expectation of the Good News which you heard, which was
proclaimed to every creature under the heaven, of which I, Sha’ul, became a
servant,
