Num 18:22, Num 14:34; Exo 28:38; Lev 22:9; Isa 53:6, Isa 53:11; Eze 3:18, Eze 3:19; Act 20:26, Act 20:27; Heb 13:17; Pe1 2:24\njoined unto thee: There is a fine paronomasia in the original. Levi is desired from lawah, to join, couple, associate; hence Moses says, the Levites yillawoo, \"shall be joined,\" or associated, with the priests. they shall conjointly perform the sacred office, but the priests shall be principal, the Levites their associates or assistants.

According to Leo of Modena, it is performed in the following manner: - When the child is thirty days old, the father sends for one of the descendants of Aaron. several persons being assembled on the occasion, the father brings a cup, containing several pieces of gold and silver coin. The priest then takes the child into his arms, and addressing himself to the mother, he says, \"Is this thy son?\" Mother. \"Yes.\" Priest. \"Hast thou never had another child, male or female, a miscarriage, or untimely birth?\" Mother. \"No.\" Priest. \"This being the case, this child, as firstborn, belongs to me.\" Then turning to the father, he says, \"If it be thy desire to have this child, thou must redeem it.\" Father. \"I present thee with this gold and silver for this purpose.\" Priest. \"Thou dost wish, therefore, to redeem this child?\" Father. \"I do wish so to do.\" The priest then turning himself to the assembly, says, \"Very well. this child, as first-born, is mine; as it is written in Bemidbar (Num 18:16), Thou shalt redeem the first-born of a month old for five shekels; but I shall content myself with this in exchange.\" He then takes two gold crowns, or thereabouts, and returns the child to his parents.\naccording: Num 3:47; Lev 27:2-7\nwhich is: Exo 30:13; Lev 27:25; Eze 45:12\nthe firstling: Deu 15:19-22\nthou shalt: Exo 29:16; Lev 3:2-5\nthe heave: Num 18:8, Num 18:11, Num 15:19-21, Num 31:29, Num 31:41; Lev 7:14; Deu 12:6; Ch2 31:4\nThou shalt have: The principal part of what was offered to God was the portion of the priests; who had no inheritance of land in Israel.
