Exegesis

Three coordinated construct phrases—b’khor-shor {בְּכוֹר־שׁוֹר | bə-khôr-šôr}, b’khor-kesev {בְּכוֹר כֶּשֶׂב | bə-khôr ke-sev}, b’khor-ʿez {בְּכוֹר עֵז | bə-khôr ʿēz}—specify the firstborn of each animal.

In contextNumbers 18:17

However, the firstborn of an ox, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat, you shall not redeem; they are holy. You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar and burn their fat as an offering by fire for a pleasing aroma to the LORD .
