Exodus 34:20

But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.

KJV

Primogenitum asini redimes ove : sin autem nec pretium pro eo dederis, occidetur. Primogenitum filiorum tuorum redimes : nec apparebis in conspectu meo vacuus.

Vulgate

καὶ πρωτότοκον ὑποζυγίου λυτρώσῃ προβάτῳ· ἐὰν δὲ μὴ λυτρώσῃ αὐτό, τιμὴν δώσεις. πᾶν πρωτότοκον τῶν υἱῶν σου λυτρώσῃ· οὐκ ὀφθήσῃ ἐνώπιόν μου κενός.

LXX

And the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break its neck. All the first-born of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.

ASV

וּ/פֶ֤טֶר חֲמוֹר֙ תִּפְדֶּ֣ה בְ/שֶׂ֔ה וְ/אִם לֹ֥א תִפְדֶּ֖ה וַ/עֲרַפְתּ֑/וֹ כֹּ֣ל בְּכ֤וֹר בָּנֶ֨י/ךָ֙ תִּפְדֶּ֔ה וְ/לֹֽא יֵרָא֥וּ פָנַ֖/י רֵיקָֽם
