“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.”
