17 But the firstborn of a cow, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat shalt thou not [a]redeem: for they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood at the altar, and thou shalt burn their fat: it is a sacrifice made by fire for a sweet savor unto the Lord.

18 And the flesh of them shall be thine, (A)as the shake breast, and as the right shoulder shall be thine.

19 All the heave offerings of the holy things which the children of Israel shall offer unto the Lord, have I given thee, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee, to be a duty forever: it is a perpetual covenant [b]of salt before the Lord, to thee, and to thy seed with thee.
