Reference: First-born, Redemption of
Easton
From the beginning the office of the priesthood in each family belonged to the eldest son. But when the extensive plan of sacrificial worship was introduced, requiring a company of men to be exclusively devoted to this ministry, the primitive office of the first-born was superseded by that of the Levites (Nu 3:11-13), and it was ordained that the first-born of man and of unclean animals should henceforth be redeemed (Nu 18:15).
The laws concerning this redemption of the first-born of man are recorded in Ex 13:12-15; 22:29; 34:20; Nu 3:45; 8:17; 18:16; Le 12:2,4.
The first-born male of every clean animal was to be given up to the priest for sacrifice (De 12:6; Ex 13:12; 34:20; Nu 18:15-17).
But the first-born of unclean animals was either to be redeemed or sold and the price given to the priest (Le 27:11-13,27). The first-born of an ass, if not redeemed, was to be put to death (Ex 13:13; 34:20).
