40Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “1NumberH6485 everyH3605 firstbornH1060 maleH2145 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 from a monthH2320 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, and 2makeH5375 a listH4557 of their namesH8034. 41You 3shall takeH3947 the LevitesH3881 for Me, I am the LordH3068, insteadH8478 of allH3605 the firstbornH1060 among the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, and the cattleH929 of the LevitesH3881 insteadH8478 of allH3605 the firstbornH1060 among the cattleH929 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.” 42So MosesH4872 numberedH6485 allH3605 the firstbornH1060 among the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, justH3512 as the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 him; 43and allH3605 the firstbornH1060 malesH2145 by the numberH4557 of namesH8034 from a monthH2320 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, for their numberedH6485 men were 422,273H8147H6242H505H7969H7657H3967.
44Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 45“5TakeH3947 the LevitesH3881 insteadH8478 of allH3605 the firstbornH1060 among the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 and the cattleH929 of the LevitesH3881. And the LevitesH3881 shall be Mine; I am the LordH3068. 466For the ransomH6299 of the 273H7969H7657H3967 of the firstbornH1060 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 who are in excessH5736 beyondH5921 the LevitesH3881, 47you shall takeH3947 7fiveH2568 shekelsH8255 apieceH2568, per headH1538; you shall takeH3947 them in 8terms of the shekelH8255 of the sanctuaryH6944 (9the shekelH8255 is twentyH6242 10gerahsH1626), 48and giveH5414 the moneyH3701, the ransomH6302 of those who are in excessH5736 among them, to AaronH175 and to his sonsH1121.”
