Numbers - ch 3 v 41 - 51
- And give to me the Levites (I am the Lord) in place of the first sons of the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites in place of the first births among the cattle of the children of Israel.
- So Moses had all the first sons among the children of Israel numbered, as the Lord said to him.
- Every first son from a month old and over was numbered by name, and the number came to twenty-two thousand, two hundred and seventy-three.
- And the Lord said to Moses,
- Take the Levites in place of all the first sons of the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites in place of their cattle; the Levites are to be mine; I am the Lord.
- And the price you have to give for the two hundred and seventy-three first sons of the children of Israel which are in addition to the number of the Levites,
- Will be five shekels for every one, by the scale of the holy place (the shekel is twenty gerahs);
- And this money, the price of those over the number of the Levites, is to be given to Aaron and his sons.
- So Moses took the money, the price of those whose place had not been taken by the Levites;
- From the first sons of Israel he took it, a thousand, three hundred and sixty-five shekels, by the scale of the holy place;
- And he gave the money to Aaron and his sons, as the Lord had said.
