[3:42] Moses obeyed, and registered all the first-born males
[3:43] one month old or older; the total was 22,273.
[3:44] The Lord said to Moses,
[3:45] “Now dedicate the Levites as mine in place of all the first-born Israelite sons, and dedicate the livestock of the Levites in place of the first-born of the Israelites' livestock.
[3:46] Since the first-born Israelite sons outnumber the Levites by 273, you must buy back the extra sons.
[3:47] For each one pay five pieces of silver, according to the official standard,
[3:48] and give this money to Aaron and his sons.”
[3:49] Moses obeyed and took
[3:50] the 1,365 pieces of silver
[3:51] and gave them to Aaron and his sons.
