     The following is the results of your search for First-born, Redemption of.


First-born, Redemption of: From the beginning the office of the priesthood in each family belonged to the eldest son. But when the extensive plan of sacrificial worship was introduced, requiring a company of men to be exclusively devoted to this ministry, the primitive office of the first-born was superseded by that of the Levites (Numbers 3:11-13) and it was ordained that the first-born of man and of unclean animals should henceforth be redeemed (Numbers 18:15) The laws concerning this redemption of the first-born of man are recorded in (Exodus 13:12-15; 22:29; 34:20; Numbers 3:45) (Numbers 8:17; 18:16; Leviticus 12:2,4) The first-born male of every clean animal was to be given up to the priest for sacrifice (Deuteronomy 12:6; Exodus 13:12) (Exodus 34:20; Numbers 18:15-17) But the first-born of unclean animals was either to be redeemed or sold and the price given to the priest (Leviticus 27:11-13,27) The first-born of an ass, if not redeemed, was to be put to death (Exodus 13:13; 34:20)
