It's amazing to me that the language employed in the statute - "They shall be redeemed in lawful money on demand," is in a way similar to: "So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.""

I know that the wages of sin is death, but I have the option to demand redemption in God's lawful money, Christ's body and blood.

I hope people don't find that offensive.
