Redemption Of The Firstborn
In the tradition of Jewish , every father has to buy his child, the first-born male to God.
This tradition does not apply to Kohanim.
Pidyon Haben (in Hebrew : ) is still observed today, especially by Orthodox Jews and traditionalists. This practice is part of a broader approach whereby each first work product of human or property be dedicated to God.
This custom is the traditional interpretation of the episode of the Presentation in the Temple of Jesus of Nazareth in the Gospel according to Luke 2, 22 et seq. However, the offering mentioned in this text is not that of a lamb (that would be required Exodus 13:13), but two doves corresponding only to the purification of Mary (Leviticus 12:8).
