⁴⁴ Then the Lord spoke to Moses: ⁴⁵ Take the Levites in place of all the oldest Israelites and the cattle of the Levites in place of their cattle. The Levites are mine; I am the Lord. ⁴⁶ To rescue the 273 remaining oldest Israelites over and above the number of Levites, ⁴⁷ you will receive five shekels each. You will receive them according to the sanctuary shekel of twenty gerahs to the shekel. ⁴⁸ You will give the money for their rescue to Aaron and his sons.
