Numbers 3:46 in context

  1. 44Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
  2. 45“Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of their livestock; and the Levites shall be mine. I am Yahweh.
  3. 46For the redemption of the two hundred seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of Israel who exceed the number of the Levites,
  4. 47you shall take five shekels apiece for each one; according to the shekel of the sanctuary you shall take them (the shekel is twenty gerahs);
  5. 48and you shall give the money, with which their remainder is redeemed, to Aaron and to his sons.”
