- rites which are still practised among the Jews. According to Leo
- of Modena, it is performed in the following manner:-When the
- child is thirty days old, the father sends for one of the
- descendants of Aaron: several persons being assembled on the
- occasion, the father brings a cup, containing several pieces of
- gold and silver coin. The priest then takes the child into his
- arms, and addressing himself to the mother, he says, 1Is this
- thy son?' Mother. `Yes' Priest. `Hast thou never had another
- child, male or female, a miscarriage, or untimely birth?'
- Mother. `No' Priest. `this being the case, this child, as
- firstborn, belongs to me.' Then turning to his father, he says,
- If it be thy desire to have this child, thou must redeem it.'
- Father. `I present thee with this gold and silver for this
- purpose.' Priest. `Thou dost wish, therefore, to redeem this
- child?' Father. `I do wish so to do.' The priest then turning
- himself to the assembly, says, `Very well: this child, as
- first-born, is mine; as it is written in Bemidbar, Thou shall
- redeem the first-born of a month old for five shekels; but I
- shall content myself with this in ex change.' He then takes two
- gold crowns, or thereabouts, and returns the child to his
- parents. according.

- # Nu 31:21 Heb 9:10
- * a red heifer. The following curious particulars have been
- remarked in this ordinance: 1. A heifer was appointed for
- sacrifice, in opposition to the Egyptian superstition, which
- held these sacred, and worshipped their goddess Isis under this
- form; and this appears the more likely, because males only were
- chosen for sacrifice. So Herodotus says, they sacrifice males,
- both old and young; but it is not lawful for them to offer
- females. 2. It was to be a red heifer, because the Egyptians
- sacrificed red bulls to the evil demon Typhon. 3. It was to be
- without spot, having no mixture of any other colour. Plutarch
- says, the Egyptians `sacrifice red bulls, and select them with
- such scrupulous attention, that if the animal has a single
- black or white hair, they reckon it, unfit to be sacrificed.'
- 4. Without blemish. 5. On which never came yoke: because an
- animal which had been used for a common purpose was deemed
- improper for sacrifice.
