תחת השבט. שבט הרועה והנה הנבחר הוא הא׳ והעשירי שוה כמו זה רק העשירי יגאלנו ואין כן הבכור והנה יתן הבכור והעשירי בבהמה ובזרע הארץ שהיא התבואה הבכורים והמעשר: UNDER THE ROD. The shepherd’s rod.93All animals that are under the supervision of a shepherd (Filwarg). Now the number one94The first-born. is the chosen one. The tenth is the same as the first.95It too is holy. However, he may redeem the tenth.96The tithe (v. 31) referenced is probably the second tithe (Weiser). See also Rashi and the Rashbam. The reference cannot be to the tenth of the cattle and flock, for Scripture says that these cannot be redeemed (v. 33). This is not the case with the first-born.97See Num. 18:17. Note, the Israelite shall give the first-born and the tenth of the beast, and of the seed of the ground, namely, of the produce, the first fruits98All these are given to the kohen. and the tithe.99The tithe is given to the Levite. The Levite then gives a tithe from the tithe given him to the kohen.
