Primary Verses:
- Num. 18:15-16
-
"Every thing that openeth the
matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the LORD,
whether it be of men or beasts, shall be thine:
nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely
redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou
redeem. And those that are to be redeemed from a month
old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation,
for the money of five
shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is
twenty gerahs."
-
Num. 3:46-51
-
"And for those that are to be
redeemed of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen
of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are
more than the Levites;
Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the
poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary
shalt thou take them: (the shekel is twenty gerahs:)
And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number
of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.
And Moses took the redemption money of them that were
over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:
Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the
money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five
shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary: And Moses
gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and
to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the
LORD commanded Moses."
