14 “Anything in Israel that is a special gift to God[a] is yours.
15 “A woman’s first baby and an animal’s first baby must be given to the Lord. That baby will belong to you. If the firstborn animal is unclean, then it must be bought back. If the baby is a child, that child must be bought back. 16 They must make the payment when the baby is one month old. The cost will be 5 shekels[b] of silver. You must use the official measure to weigh this silver. A shekel by the official measure is 20 gerahs.[c]
