Numeri 18:16 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 18:16

And those that are to be redeemed
Which is to be understood not of unclean beasts last mentioned, for they were redeemed with lambs and not with money; and after they were eight days and not a month old, as follows, ( Exodus 13:13 ) ( 22:30 ) ; but of the firstborn of men:

from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation:
that is, take the redemption money next mentioned; and though both time and price are fixed, yet said to be according to the estimation of the priest; see ( Leviticus 27:5 Leviticus 27:6 ) ;

for the money of five shekels;
which was about eleven or twelve shillings of our money, and is the price given for the redemption of the firstborn, when the Levites were taken in their stead, ( Numbers 3:47 ) ;

after the shekel of the sanctuary, which [is] twenty gerahs,
(See Gill on Numbers 3:47); of the manner of redeeming the firstborn, (See Gill on Exodus 13:15).

Numeri 18:16 In-Context

14 Tutto ciò che sarà consacrato per voto d’interdetto in Israele sarà tuo.
15 Ogni primogenito d’ogni carne ch’essi offriranno all’Eterno, così degli uomini come degli animali, sarà tuo; però, farai riscattare il primogenito dell’uomo, e farai parimente riscattare il primogenito d’un animale impuro.
16 E quanto al riscatto, li farai riscattare dall’età di un mese, secondo la tua stima, per cinque sicli d’argento, a siclo di santuario, che è di venti ghere.
17 Ma non farai riscattare il primogenito della vacca né il primogenito della pecora né il primogenito della capra; sono cosa sacra; spanderai il loro sangue sull’altare, e farai fumare il loro grasso come sacrifizio fatto mediante il fuoco, di soave odore all’Eterno.
18 La loro carne sarà tua; sarà tua come il petto dell’offerta agitata e come la coscia destra.
