Leviticus27:26
26 Onely the firstling of the beast, which should be the LORDS firstling, no man shall sanctifie it , whether it be ox or sheep : it is the LORDS.
To wit, by vow; because it is not his own, but the Lords already, and therefore to vow such a thing to God is a tacit derogation from, and an usurpation of the Lords right, and a mocking of God by pretending to give him what we cannot withhold from him.
Under these two eminent kinds he comprehends all other beasts which might be sacrificed to God, the firstlings whereof could not be redeemed but were to be sacrificed, whereas the firstlings of men were to be redeemed and therefore were capable of being vowed, as we see 1 Sam. 1. 11.
