Numbers 18:13-17 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

13. The firstfruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to the Lord, belong to you. Every clean person in your house may eat them.

14. “Everything in Israel that is permanently dedicated to the Lord belongs to you.

15. The firstborn of every living thing, man or animal, presented to the Lord belongs to you. But you must certainly redeem the firstborn of man, and redeem the firstborn of an unclean animal.

16. You will pay the redemption price for a month-old male according to your assessment: five shekels of silver by the standard sanctuary shekel, which is 20 gerahs.

17. “However, you must not redeem the firstborn of an ox, a sheep, or a goat; they are holy. You are to sprinkle their blood on the altar and burn their fat as a fire offering for a pleasing aroma to the Lord.
