**The Rashi chumash by Rabbi Shraga Silverstein:**
Your fullness [the obligation that is incumbent upon you when your produce has fully ripened, i.e., bikkurim (first fruits)] and your dema (terumah) you shall not delay [you are not to change the order of their separation. You are not to take terumah before bikkurim or ma'aser before terumah]. The first-born of your sons you shall give to Me [(Redeem him from the Cohein for five sela'im)].


###### Exodus 22:29
[Exodus 22:29](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Exodus/r/22:29)

כֵּֽן־תַּעֲשֶׂ֥ה לְשֹׁרְךָ֖ לְצֹאנֶ֑ךָ שִׁבְעַ֤ת יָמִים֙ יִהְיֶ֣ה עִם־אִמּ֔וֹ בַּיּ֥וֹם הַשְּׁמִינִ֖י תִּתְּנוֹ־לִֽי׃

**Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009:**
You must do likewise with your oxen and with your sheep. Seven days it shall remain with its mother. On the eighth day you must give it to Me.

**The Koren Jerusalem Bible:**
In like manner shalt thou do with thy oxen, and with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.

**The Rashi chumash by Rabbi Shraga Silverstein:**
Thus shall you do with your ox, with your sheep [i.e., Just as a human bechor is redeemed after thirty days, so the bechor of small cattle (e.g., sheep) is to be looked after for thirty days and then given to the Cohein.] Seven days shall it be with its mother [(an exhortation to the Cohein not to sacrifice it before the eighth day)]; on the eighth day you may give it to Me.


###### Exodus 22:30
[Exodus 22:30](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Exodus/r/22:30)

וְאַנְשֵׁי־קֹ֖דֶשׁ תִּהְי֣וּן לִ֑י וּבָשָׂ֨ר בַּשָּׂדֶ֤ה טְרֵפָה֙ לֹ֣א תֹאכֵ֔לוּ לַכֶּ֖לֶב תַּשְׁלִכ֥וּן אֹתֽוֹ׃{ס}

**Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009:**
You shall be men of holiness to Me, and you must not eat flesh that was torn off in the field. Throw it to the dog.

**The Koren Jerusalem Bible:**
And you shall be holy men to me: neither shall you eat any meat that is torn of beasts in the field; you shall cast it to the dogs.

**The Rashi chumash by Rabbi Shraga Silverstein:**
And [if] men of holiness [i.e., If you separate yourselves from abominations of neveilah and treifah], you shall be unto Me [i.e., you shall be Mine; if not, you shall not be Mine.] And flesh torn [by a predatory animal from a live clean animal] in the field [(not necessarily the field, "the field" being the common instance)] you shall not eat; to the dog you shall throw it [or you may sell it to a heathen ("the dog" being mentioned to indicate that it takes precedence to selling and also that "the Holy One Blessed be He does not withhold the reward of any creature" (see 11:7)].
