15 And it came about that Pharʹaoh showed obstinacy toward sending us away,+ and Jehovah* proceeded to kill every firstborn in the land of Egypt,+ from the firstborn of man to the firstborn of beast.+ That is why I am sacrificing to Jehovah all the males that open the womb,+ and every firstborn of my sons I redeem.’+

15 “Everything opening the womb,+ of every sort of flesh, which they will present to Jehovah, among man and among beast, should become yours. However, you should without fail redeem the firstborn of mankind;+ and the firstborn of the unclean beast you should redeem.+

16 And with a redemption price for it from a month old onward you should redeem it, by the estimated value, five silver shekels by the shekel of the holy place.+ It is twenty geʹrahs.+
