Números 18:15 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 18:15

Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh
The firstborn of every creature:

which they bring unto the Lord;
as they were obliged, he claiming it as his own, ( Exodus 13:2 ) ;

[whether it be] of men or beasts, shall be thine;
every firstborn of either, being the Lord's, became the priest's by his gift:

nevertheless, the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem;
that is, take the redemption price for it, which was five shekels, as in ( Numbers 18:16 ) ; for the original proprietor was, strictly speaking, the redeemer, and paid the money, and the priest was the receiver, to whom it was paid; see ( Exodus 13:13 ) ;

and the firstlings of unclean beasts shall thou redeem;
with lambs, as an ass, which is put for unclean beasts, is ordered to be redeemed with a lamb, or its neck to be broken, ( Exodus 13:13 ) ; the Africans, the shepherds among them, as Herodotus relates F11, of their firstlings they cut off the ear of the beast and throw it over a house, and then turn its neck back, for they worship only the sun and moon; which seems to be an imitation of this law.

Números 18:15 In-Context

13 Os primeiros frutos de tudo o que houver na sua terra, que trouxerem ao Senhor, serĂŁo teus. Todo o que na tua casa estiver limpo comerĂĄ deles.
14 Toda coisa consagrada em Israel serĂĄ tua.
15 Todo primogĂȘnito de toda a carne, que oferecerem ao Senhor, tanto de homens como de animais, serĂĄ teu; contudo os primogĂȘnitos dos homens certamente remirĂĄs; tambĂ©m os primogĂȘnitos dos animais imundos remirĂĄs.
16 Os que deles se houverem de remir, desde a idade de um mĂȘs os remirĂĄs, segundo a tua avaliação, por cinco siclos de dinheiro, segundo o siclo do santuĂĄrio, que Ă© de vinte jeiras.
17 Mas o primogĂȘnito da vaca, o primogĂȘnito da ovelha, e o primogĂȘnito da cabra nĂŁo remirĂĄs, porque eles sĂŁo santos. EspargirĂĄs o seu sangue sobre o altar, e queimarĂĄs a sua gordura em oferta queimada, de cheiro suave ao Senhor.
