SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:47

tomarás cinco siclos por cabeza; conforme al siclo del santuario tomarás. (El siclo tiene veinte geras.)

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 47. Thou shall even take five shekels apiece the poll , etc.] Or head; every firstborn, or his parent for him, was bound to pay five shekels, which were about eleven or twelve shillings of our money, and which was afterwards settled as the price of such a redemption, ( Numbers 18:16); after the shekel of the sanctuary shall thou take [them] ; being full weight according to the standard there kept: the shekel [is] twenty gerahs ; (see Gill on “ Leviticus 27:25”).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 40-51 - The number of the first-born, and that of the Levites, came near to each other. Known unto God are all his works beforehand; there is a exact proportion between them, and so it will appear, when they ar compared together. The small number of first-born, over and above the number of the Levites, were to be redeemed, and the redemption-mone given to Aaron. The church is called the church of the first-born which is redeemed, not as they were, with silver and gold; but, being devoted by sin to the justice of God, is ransomed with the preciou blood of the Son of God. All men are the Lord's by creation, and all true christians are his by redemption. Each should know his own pos and duty; nor can any service required by such a Master be rightl accounted mean or hard __________________________________________________________________
