Numbers 3:45-47

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴⁵ Take the Levites for 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 But for the price of the two hundred and seventy-three, of the firstborn of the children of Israel, that exceed the number of the Levites,

⁴⁷ Thou shalt take five sides for every head, according to the weight of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.
