Numbers 18:15-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
15 Every living thing that opens the womb, human being and beast alike, such as are to be offered to the Lord, shall be yours;(A) but you must redeem the firstborn of human beings, as well as redeem the firstborn of unclean animals. 16 For the redemption price of a son, when he is a month old, you shall pay the equivalent of five silver shekels according to the sanctuary shekel, that is, twenty gerahs.
