³⁹ The whole sum of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the Commandment of the LORD, throughout their families, all the males from a month old and above, was twenty-two thousand.

⁴⁰ And the LORD said to Moses, “Number all the firstborn who are males among the children of Israel from a month old and above and take the number of their names.

⁴¹ “And you shall take the Levites for Me instead of all the firstborn of the children of Israel—I am the LORD—and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstborn of the cattle of the children of Israel.”
