redeemed

Números 18:15
Todo primogênito que se traz ao SENHOR te pertencerá, tudo aquilo que procede de um ser de carne, homem ou animal; tu, porém, farás resgatar o primeiro filho do homem e, igualmente, farás resgatar toda primeira cria de animais impuros. Estes voltarão, mediante pagamento, a pertencer à pessoa que os ofereceu.

Êxodo 13:13
Resgatarás com um cordeiro toda primeira cria dos jumentos, mas se não quiseres resgatá-la, tu lhe quebrarás o pescoço; mas todo primogênito do homem, entre teus filhos, tu o resgatarás.

22,000, and the first-born males of the Israelites were

22,273, there were therefore

372 more of the latter than of the former, which are here ordered to be redeemed. The price of redemption is fixed at five shekels, or about

15s. each, in ver

15s. English, was taken of the first-born. There is some difficulty, however, in determining which of the first-born should be redeemed by paying this sum, and which should be exchanged for the Levites; for every Israelite, no doubt, would rather have his first-born redeemed by a Levite, than pay five shekels; and yet some of them must have incurred this expense. Rabbi Solomon Jarchi says, to prevent contention, Moses took

22,000 slips of parchment, and wrote on each a son of Levi, and

273 more, on which he wrote five shekels; then putting them in an urn, and shaking them together, he ordered every one of the first-born to draw out a slip. If he drew out one with the first inscription, he said to him, a Levite hath redeemed thee; but if he drew out one of the latter, he said, pay the price. This is pronounced by Dr. A. Clarke to be a stupid, silly tale; but when we know that the determination by lot was used among the Israelites, it does not seem improbable that it was now resorted to, though we cannot vouch for the accuracy of the detail. This species of redeeming men is referred to by Peter in his

1st Epistle,
