18:15 The first fruits of the womb, that must be presented to God, among man and beast, shall be yours. However, you must redeem first-born humans, as well as the first-born of unclean animals.
Kol-peter rechem lechol-basar asher-yakrivu l'Adonay ba'adam uvabehemah yihyeh-lach ach padoh tifdeh et bechor ha'adam ve'et bechor-habehemah hatme'ah tifdeh.
18:16 The redemption [of a first-born human male] from one month old, shall be made with [the usual] endowment of 5 shekels by the sanctuary standard, where [the shekel] is 20 gerahs.
Ufduyav miben-chodesh tifdeh be'erkecha kesef chameshet shkalim beshekel hakodesh esrim gerah hu.
