Heb. And (for that is, as the particle and is oft used; the words following here, and Exodus 34:20, being a particular explication of the general sentence in the beginning of this verse) all thy cattle which (a particle oft understood) shall be born male, (as it is also explained Exodus 13:12) the opening, or, whatsoever (to wit, of the male kind) openeth the matrix (which word is fitly understood out of the former member; which is very usual) of ox or ( and put for or, as it is oft done) sheep.

Exodus 34:19

19 All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep,b that is male.
