And if a poor family can't afford to redeem the first born son? It's killed. Like with slavery, he's making an exception to an act that should be abolished altogether.
If the gospel of Luke is to be trusted, the sacrifice was fairly inexpensive. It may have depended on the income of the parents? Or maybe Luke has it wrong:
Luke 2:22-24 RSV
Quote:22 And when the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord 23 (as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”) 24 and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.”
