John Gill, on Neh 10:35
John Gill · 1697–1771
Neh 10:35 · Douay-Rheims
“And that we would bring the first fruits of our land, and the firstfruits of all fruit of every tree, from year to year, in the house of our Lord.”
On this verse:
“Also the firstborn of our sons and of our cattle,.... Such as were unclean, as Aben Ezra notes, as the ass, &c. and are distinguished from clean ones mentioned in the following clause; now both these, their sons, and this sort of cattle, were to be redeemed by a price paid to the priests: as it is written in the law, Exo 13:2, and the firstlings of our herds, and of our flocks; clean cattle, which were to be offered, Num 18:17, to bring to the house of our God, unto the priests that minister in the house of our God; a price for the one sort, and the other for sacrifice.”
