15The firstbornH6363H7358H3605 of everyH3605 wombH1320, whetherH834 manH120 or beastH929, that is offeredH7126 to the LORDH3068 belongsH1961 to you. ButH389 you must surely redeemH6299 every firstbornH1060 sonH120 and every firstborn maleH1060 of uncleanH2931 animalsH929. 16You are to pay the redemption priceH6299 for a month-old maleH1121H2320H6299 according to your valuationH6187: fiveH2568 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701,1 according to the sanctuaryH6944 shekelH8255, whichH1931 is twentyH6242 gerahsH1626.2

You are to splatterH2236 their bloodH1818 onH5921 the altarH4196 and burnH6999 their fatH2459 as a food offeringH801, a pleasingH5207 aromaH7381 to the LORDH3068.
