14. “Everything in Israel that has been unconditionally dedicated to me belongs to you.

15. “Every firstborn child or animal that the Israelites present to me belongs to you. But you must accept payment to buy back every firstborn child, and must also accept payment for every firstborn animal that is ritually unclean.

16. Children shall be bought back at the age of one month for the fixed price of five pieces of silver, according to the official standard.

17. But the firstborn of cows, sheep, and goats are not to be bought back; they belong completely to me and are to be sacrificed. Throw their blood against the altar and burn their fat as a food offering, a smell pleasing to me.
