Numbers 3:40-48

40Then the LORDH3068H413 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “NumberH6485 everyH3605 firstbornH1060 maleH2145 of the IsraelitesH1121H3478 a monthH2320 oldH1121 or moreH4605, and listH5375 their namesH8034. 41You are to takeH3947 the LevitesH3881 for Me—IH589 am the LORDH3068—in place ofH8478 allH3605 the firstbornH1060 of IsraelH1121H3478, and the livestockH929 of the LevitesH3881 in place ofH8478 allH3605 the firstbornH1060 of the livestockH929 of the IsraelitesH1121H3478.”

42So MosesH4872 numberedH6485 allH3605 the firstbornH1060 of the IsraelitesH1121H3478, asH834 the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 himH853. 43The totalH3605 numberH6485 of the firstbornH1060 malesH2145 a monthH2320 oldH1121 or moreH4605, listedH4557 by nameH8034, wasH1961 22,273H8147H6242H505H7969H7657H3967.

44Again the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 toH413 MosesH4872, sayingH559, 45“TakeH3947 the LevitesH3881 in placeH8478 of allH3605 the firstbornH1060 of IsraelH1121H3478, andH853 the livestockH929 of the LevitesH3881 in placeH8478 of their livestockH929. The LevitesH3881 belongH1961 to Me; IH589 am the LORDH3068. 46To redeemH6302 the 273H7969H7657H3967 firstbornH1060 IsraelitesH1121H3478 who outnumberH5736H5921 the LevitesH3881, 47you are to collectH3947 fiveH2568 shekelsH82551 for each oneH1538, according to the sanctuaryH6944H3947 shekelH8255 of twentyH6242 gerahsH1626H8255.2 48GiveH5414 the moneyH3701 to AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 as the redemption priceH6302 for the excessH5736 among the Israelites.”
