Holy Scripture

Exodus 13:2

A church father on this verse
“For who is really holy but the Son of God? Who properly opened the womb but he who opened a closed one? But it is marriage which opens the womb in all cases. The Virgin's womb, therefore, was especially opened, because it was especially closed.”
Tertullian, 3th c. — ON THE FLESH OF CHRIST 23.4-5

Source: Septuagint

Original

2Sanctify to me every firstborn, first produced, opening every womb among the children of Israel both of man and beast: it is mine.
