---

← Numbers 18:16	Numbers 18:17 (KJV)	Numbers 18:18 →
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.	But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they [are] holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat [for] an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.	And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine.
