Numeri 18:17

Romanian Cornilescu Translation

Dar să nu laşi să se răscumpere întîiul născut al vacii, nici întîiul născut al oii, nici întîiul născut al caprei: acestea sînt lucruri sfinte. Sîngele lor să -l stropeşti pe altar, şi să le arzi grăsimea: aceasta va fi o jertfă mistuită de foc, de un miros plăcut Domnului.

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.
