LE VIT ICUS XXVI 1, 179 Firftling, for though it be his dim whiles he is a- live, yet it is not his due fromthe beginning, for the beginning of it is in the honk of Iliac!. But the owners that change the Milling all the while it is in their houfe, they make a change. And fo a a Pried that changeth a Firftling which is borne of his owne,(not a Firftling which he path recei- ved of an Iiraelite) that is a change. The high Priefts Ram, (Lev. 16.) maketh a change, but his Bullocke maketh no change; though it be one of, his owne : becaufe his brethren the Priefts have their atonement by it , and fo are partners in it. Fowles, and Meat- offrings, make no change; for the Law fpeaketh but of beads. He that fan &ifi - eth a bead that hath a fixed- blemifh,it maketh no change ; but he that fan&ifieth a bead that bath a tranfitorie blemifh , or Can &ifieth a perfe& beaft, and afterward a fixed blemifh commeth upon it; this maketh a change. Whether a man change a perfe& bead for a blemithed,or a blentithed for a perfe&,or change an oxe fora lheep,cr a Iheep for an Oxe,or a Iheep for a goat, 4r goat for Iheep,or stales for females,or females for males,orchatige one for an hundred,or anhundred for one, either at onte,or one after another: this is a change,and he is to be beaten, according to the number of beads which he bath changed. Change is, when the owner of an oblation faith of a beaft of the common beads which are his , This {hall be for that; or, This Thall be the exchange of that ; This Ihall be for that Sin- offring or for that Burnt - offring; (having thus faid) it is a change. The Law for the offring of exchanges is thus; The ex- change of a. Burnt- offring (hall be offered for a Burnt - offring; and if the exchange of it be a fe- male,it Ihall feed,till fore blemifhfall on it,then it is fold,and a Burnt- offring is bought with the price of it. The exchange of a Sin- offring, is to die ; of a Trefpas- offring, is to feed till it beble- niifhed, and the price they make a voluntary-of- fring. The exchange of Peace- pffrings, is as the Peace- offrings in all refpe &s, &c.Theexchange of the firftling,is the Prielts;and the exchange of the tithe bead, is the owners, &c.
