Numbers - ch 3 v 41 - 51
- And thou shalt take the Levites to me for all the firstborn of the children of Israel, I am the Lord: and their cattle for all the firstborn of the cattle of the children of Israel:
- Moses reckoned up, as the Lord had commanded, the firstborn of the children of Israel:
- And the males by their names, from one month and upward, were twenty-two thousand two hundred and seventy-three.
- And the Lord spoke to Moses, saving:
- Take the Levites for the firstborn of the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites for their cattle, and the Levites shall be mine. I am the Lord.
- But for the price of the two hundred and seventy-three, of the firstborn of the children of Israel, that exceed the number of the Levites,
- Thou shalt take five sides for every head, according to the weight of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.
- And then shalt give the money to Aaron and his sons, the price of them that are above.
- Moses therefore took the money of them that were above, and whom they had redeemed from the Levites,
- For the firstborn of the children of Israel, one thousand three hundred and sixty-five sicles, according to the weight of the sanctuary,
- And gave it to Aaron and his sons, according to the word that the Lord had commanded him.
