Firstborn Redemption Fixed at Five Shekels
YHWH assigns Aaron and his sons portions of Israel’s holy gifts, firstfruits, devoted things, and firstborn redemption. Their support comes from the sanctuary work for which they have no ordinary tribal land inheritance.
Numbers 3 redeems the 273 excess firstborn at five sanctuary shekels each; Numbers 18 later gives five shekels as the standing redemption valuation for a firstborn son from one month old.
