Numbers 3:44-51

44Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559,

45“1TakeH3947 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.

462For the ransomH6299 of the 273H7969H7657H3967 of the firstbornH1060 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 who are in excessH5736 beyondH5921 the LevitesH3881,

47you shall takeH3947 3fiveH2568 shekelsH8255 apieceH2568, per headH1538; you shall takeH3947 them in 4terms of the shekelH8255 of the sanctuaryH6944 (5the shekelH8255 is twentyH6242 6gerahsH1626),

48and giveH5414 the moneyH3701, the ransomH6302 of those who are in excessH5736 among them, to AaronH175 and to his sonsH1121.”

49So MosesH4872 tookH3947 the ransomH6302 moneyH3701 from those who were in excessH5736, beyondH5921 those ransomedH6299 by the LevitesH3881;

50from the firstbornH1060 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 he tookH3947 the moneyH3701 in terms of the shekelH8255 of the sanctuaryH6944, 1,365H2568H8346H7969H3067H505.

51Then MosesH4872 gaveH5414 the ransomH6299 moneyH3701 to AaronH175 and to his sonsH1121, at the 7commandH6310 of the LordH3068, justH3512 as the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872.
