och de förstfödda av våra söner och av vår boskap, såsom det är föreskrivet i lagen; vi skulle föra till vår Guds hus de förstfödda både av våra fäkreatur och av vår småboskap, till prästerna som gjorde tjänst i vår Guds hus.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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,

Exodus 13:2,

and the firstlings of our herds, and of our flocks; clean cattle, which were to be offered, Numbers 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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 36. Also the first-born — See this law, and the reasons of it, Exodus 13:1-13. As by this law the Lord had a right to all the firstborn, instead of these he was pleased to take the tribe of Levi for the whole; and thus the Levites served at the tabernacle and temple, instead of the first-born of all the tribes.
