Bechorot 15: Holy Firsts

What happens when an animal is dedicated to God while it's whole, and only later develops a blemish? Bekhorot 15 says that even after redemption, it doesn't return to ordinary life, and its offspring are affected too. Through a Messianic Jewish lens, we explore why our calling comes before our failures, what it means to be redeemed but still belong to God, and what we pass on to the next generation. If you've ever felt that a flaw disqualified you, this episode is for you.
