Lévitique 27:26

Seulement, le premier-né d'entre les bêtes, qui est offert comme prémices à l'Éternel, nul ne pourra le sanctifier: si c'est un boeuf ou un agneau, il est à l'Éternel.

Toutefois, nul ne consacrera le premier-né de son bétail, lequel appartient déjà à l'Éternel comme primogéniture; soit bœuf, soit agneau, il est à l'Éternel.

Louis Segond (1910)
Nul ne pourra sanctifier le premier-né de son bétail, lequel appartient déjà à l'Eternel en sa qualité de premier-né; soit boeuf, soit agneau, il appartient à l'Eternel.

La Bible David Martin (1744)
Toutefois nul ne [pourra] sanctifier le premier-né d'entre les bêtes, car il appartient à l'Eternel par droit de primogéniture, soit de vache, soit de brebis, ou de chèvre, il est à l'Eternel.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

the firstling: Heb. first born, etc. As these firstlings were the Lord's before, it would have been a solemn mockery to pretend to make them a matter of a singular vow; for they were already appointed, if clean, to be sacrificed.

which: Exodus 13:2, Exodus 13:12, Exodus 13:13, Exodus 22:30, Numbers 18:17, Deuteronomy 15:19

Reciprocal: Numbers 3:13 - Because Numbers 8:17 - I sanctified Numbers 18:15 - openeth 2 Kings 7:5 - behold 1 Chronicles 6:28 - firstborn Nehemiah 10:36 - the firstborn

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Only the firstlings of the beasts,.... These are excepted from being sanctified, or set apart for sacred uses, for a very good reason, suggested in the next clause:

which should be the Lord's firstling, no man shall sanctify it; it being what he has a claim upon, and ordered to be sanctified to him by a law previous to this, Exodus 13:2; wherefore to sanctify such a creature, would be to sanctify what was his before; not merely in a general sense, in which all creatures are his, but in a special sense, having in a peculiar manner required it as his; and therefore to sanctify, or vow to him, what was his before, must be trifling with him, and mocking of him:

whether [it be] ox, or sheep; the firstlings of either of them:

it [is] the Lord's; which he has claimed as his own special and peculiar property, antecedent to any vow of its owner.
