Some passages referenced:

Deuteronomy 15:19 (eating the firstborn sacrifice); Numbers 18:16, Leviticus 27:6 (principles for redemption); Numbers 3:40-49 (the firstborn males and the Levites’ substitution for them); Genesis 49:3, Deuteronomy 21:17 (the meaning of the firstborn).

Isaiah 29:13-14 (multiplied wonders not being perceived); Deuteronomy 32:5, 20-22 (an evil and adulterous generation provoked to jealousy); Acts 2:41 (three thousand on the Day of Pentecost).
