In context

15And everything that opens the womb of all flesh, whatsoever they bring to the Lord, whether man or beast, shall be thine: only the firstborn of men shall be surely redeemed, and thou shalt redeem the firstborn of unclean cattle.

16And the redemption of them shall be from a month old; their valuation of five shekels—it is twenty oboli according to the holy shekel.

— Numbers 18:17 —

18And the flesh shall be thine, as also the breast of the wave offering and as the right shoulder, it shall be thine.

19Every special offering of the holy things, whatsoever the children of Israel shall specially offer to the Lord, I have given to thee and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, a perpetual ordinance: it is a covenant of salt forever before the Lord, for thee and thy seed after thee.
