La Bibbia di Giovanni Diodati

Numeri 18:17

ma non lasciar riscattare il primogenito della vacca, nè il primogenito della pecora, nè il primogenito della capra; sono cosa sacra; spandi il sangue loro sopra l’Altare; e brucia il lor grasso, per offerta da ardere, in soave odore al Signore.

Ma non farai riscattare il primogenito della vacca né il primogenito della pecora né il primogenito della capra; sono cosa sacra; spanderai il loro sangue sull’altare, e farai fumare il loro grasso come sacrifizio fatto mediante il fuoco, di soave odore all’Eterno.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem,.... That is, shalt not take the redemption price for them, but the creatures themselves; which they, the priests, were to take for their own use:

they [are] holy; separated to the Lord, and therefore not to be used in common by men, but were sacred to the Lord, or became the property of his priests; see Deuteronomy 15:19; how they were to be made use of follows:

thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar; for they were to be sacrificed, and their blood used as in other sacrifices:

and shalt burn their fat [for] an offering made by fire; for a sweet savour unto the Lord; as the fat of other sacrifices was, and particularly of the peace offerings, which were wholly eaten otherwise, Leviticus 7:31.
