rsv@Numbers:3:40 @ And the LORD said to Moses, "Number all the first-born males of the people of Israel, from a month old and upward, taking their number by names.
rsv@Numbers:3:41 @ And you shall take the Levites for me--I am the LORD--instead of all the first-born among the people of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the people of Israel."
rsv@Numbers:3:42 @ So Moses numbered all the first-born among the people of Israel, as the LORD commanded him.
rsv@Numbers:3:43 @ And all the first-born males, according to the number of names, from a month old and upward as numbered were twenty-two thousand two hundred and seventy-three.
rsv@Numbers:3:44 @ And the LORD said to Moses,
rsv@Numbers:3:45 @ "Take the Levites instead of all the first-born among the people of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am the LORD.
rsv@Numbers:3:46 @ And for the redemption of the two hundred and seventy-three of the first-born of the people of Israel, over and above the number of the male Levites,
rsv@Numbers:3:47 @ you shall take five shekels apiece; reckoning by the shekel of the sanctuary, the shekel of twenty gerahs, you shall take them,
rsv@Numbers:3:48 @ and give the money by which the excess number of them is redeemed to Aaron and his sons."
rsv@Numbers:3:49 @ So Moses took the redemption money from those who were over and above those redeemed by the Levites;
rsv@Numbers:3:50 @ from the first-born of the people of Israel he took the money, one thousand three hundred and sixty-five shekels, reckoned by the shekel of the sanctuary;
rsv@Numbers:3:51 @ and Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
