25 Every valuation shall be according to (A)the shekel of the sanctuary: (B)twenty gerahs[a] shall make a shekel.

26 “But a (C)firstborn of animals, which as a firstborn belongs to the Lord, no man may dedicate; whether ox or sheep, it is the Lord's. 27 And if it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back at the valuation, (D)and add a fifth to it; or, if it is not redeemed, it shall be sold at the valuation.
