Numbers 18:17-19
New International Version
17 “But you must not redeem the firstborn of a cow, a sheep or a goat; they are holy.(A) Splash their blood(B) against the altar and burn their fat(C) as a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(D) 18 Their meat is to be yours, just as the breast of the wave offering(E) and the right thigh are yours.(F) 19 Whatever is set aside from the holy(G) offerings the Israelites present to the Lord I give to you and your sons and daughters as your perpetual share. It is an everlasting covenant of salt(H) before the Lord for both you and your offspring.”

Numbers 18:17-19
King James Version
17 But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the Lord.
18 And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine.
19 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the Lord, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the Lord unto thee and to thy seed with thee.
