Louis Segond 1910

Mais tu ne feras point racheter le premier-né du boeuf, ni le premier-né de la brebis, ni le premier-né de la chèvre: ce sont des choses saintes. Tu répandras leur sang sur l'autel, et tu brûleras leur graisse: ce sera un sacrifice consumé par le feu, d'une agréable odeur à l'Eternel.
