Leviticus 27:26-28 - Exposition

The firstborn of animals were already the Lord's, and they could not, therefore, be vowed to him afresh; the sacrificial animals were to be offered in sacrifice ( Exodus 13:15 ); the ass was to be redeemed by a sheep or be put to death ( Exodus 13:13 ; Exodus 34:20 ); other unclean animals are to be either redeemed at the fixed price, plus one-fifth, or, if not redeemed, sold for the benefit of the sanctuary.
