The heave offering to the priests out of the Levites' portion You are to pay the redemption price for a month-old male In ancient Israel, the concept of redemption was deeply rooted in the covenant relationship between God and His people.

Teaching Points Understanding RedemptionRedemption in the Old Testament was a physical and financial transaction, symbolizing spiritual truths. It points to the ultimate redemption through Christ. Value and Worth The specific mention of "five shekels of silver" underscores the value God places on life and the importance of following His commands precisely. Obedience to God's Law The Israelites were called to obey God's instructions, reflecting their commitment and relationship with Him. This obedience is a model for Christians today. Symbolism of the Firstborn The redemption of the firstborn symbolizes God's claim over all creation and foreshadows Christ as the firstborn over all creation, who redeems us. Financial Stewardship The requirement of a monetary redemption price teaches the importance of financial stewardship and prioritizing God's commands in our resources.(16) According to thine estimation.--See Leviticus 18:3-7, and Notes.Verse 16. - From a month old. Literally, "from the monthly child," as soon as they reach the age of one month. According to thine estimation. See on Leviticus 5:15; 27:2-7. It would seem that the priest was to make the valuation for the people, since each first-born or firstling was separately claimed by God, and had to be separately redeemed; but at the same time, to prevent extortion, the sum which the priest might assess was fixed by God. For the money of five shekels. About seventeen shillings of our money (see Numbers 3:47). It is extremely drill cult to estimate the number of first-born, but it is evident that in any case a large income must have accrued to the priests in this way. No value is here set upon the firstlings of unclean beasts; in the most usual ease, that of the ass, the rule had been laid down in Exodus 13:13; and in other cases it was apparently left to the discretion of the priests, subject to the right of the owner, if he saw fit, to destroy the animal rather than pay for it (see Leviticus 27:27).
