Variantly: The bechor of a man is likened to the bechor of a beast, and the bechor of a beast to the bechor of a man. Just as with a beast, a miscarriage (of the first pregnancy) exempts (the second fetus) from (the law of) the bechor, so, with men. And just as with the bechor of a man, one may give it to the Cohein wherever he wishes, so, with the bechor of a beast. From (Devarim 12:6) "And you shall bring there (to the Temple) your burnt-offerings and your sacrifices, etc.", I might think that even if he was far away he must bring it (his first-born) to the Temple. It is, therefore, written "in man and beast he is Mine." The bechor of a man is hereby likened to the bechor of a beast. Just as the latter may be given to a Cohein wherever he wishes, so, the former. And just as the bechor of a man must be cared for for thirty days (before being given to the Cohein), so, the bechor of a beast.
