Numbers 3:44-48
1599 Geneva Bible
44 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
45 Take the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites for their cattle, and the Levites shall be mine, (I am the Lord.)
46 And for the redeeming of the two hundred seventy and three, (which are more than the Levites) of the firstborn of the children of Israel,
47 Thou shalt also take five shekels for every person: after the weight of the Sanctuary shalt thou take it: (A)the shekel containeth twenty gerahs.
48 And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.
