Exegesis
The imperfect verb tifdeh {תִפְדֶּה | tif-deh} ‘you shall redeem’ is negated by lo {לֹא | lō}, yielding the verbless clause qodesh hem {קֹדֶשׁ הֵם | qō-deš hēm} that affirms their sanctity.

In context — Numbers 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 .
