WHY REDEMPTION?

GOD SPARED THE HEBREWS WHEN HE SLEW THE FIRSTBORN OF EVERY EGYPTIAN FAMILY IN A PLAGUE OFJUDGEMENT FOR THEIR REFUSAL TO RELEASE THEHEBREWS IN BONDAGE.

GOD IN TURN TOOK THE FIRST BORN IN EVERY FAMILYOF ISRAEL TO BE HIS OWN TO SERVE HIM.

LATER BY VIRTUE OF THE TRIBE OF LEVY ALONESTANDING FIRM IN THEIR ZEAL FOR THE LORD, THEYWERE SEPARATED TO SERVE HIM AS HIS FIRST BORN.

HENCE, THE FIRST BORN IN EVERY OTHER TRIBE HADTO BE REDEEMED BACK FROM THE LORD BY PAYING AREDEMPTION PRICE.

THE FIRST BORN’S RESPONSIBILITY IS TO BE PLACED INTO THE SERVICE AT THE TABERNACLE OR TEMPLE. (EXODUS 13:2)

THE SANCTITY OF THE FIRSTBORN WAS LIFTED THROUGH THE REDEMPTION OF EACH FIRST BORN BY A LEVITE. (LEVITICUS 27:1-8)

:

IF THE FIRST BORN OF ISRAEL IS NOT FROM THE TRIBE OF LEVI, WHAT SHOULD BE DONE?

:

EACH FIRST BORN SON HAD TO BE REDEEMED (PURCHASED) BACK FROM THE PRIESTHOOD.
