Numbers 3:46-50

46To redeem the 273 firstborn Israelites who exceed the number of the Levites,

47collect five shekels for each one, according to the sanctuary shekel, which weighs twenty gerahs.

48Give the money for the redemption of the additional Israelites to Aaron and his sons.”

49So Moses collected the redemption money from those who exceeded the number redeemed by the Levites.

50From the firstborn of the Israelites he collected silver weighing 1,365 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel.
