Moses
Exodus 13:1KJV·traditional attribution
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

We must present what is dearest to us to Him first, and receive it back only by His mercy; the firstborn are the joy of families, yet they belong to God before they belong to us. By this dedication we show that we love Him better than we love ourselves.
