Numbers 3:45-47

Contemporary English Version

⁴⁵ “The Levites will belong to me and will take the place of the first-born sons; their livestock will take the place of the Israelites' first-born livestock. ⁴⁶ But since there are more first-born sons than Levites, the extra 273 men and boys must be bought back from me. ⁴⁷ For each one, you are to collect five pieces of silver, weighed according to the official standards.
