Numbers 3:44-51

New King James Version

⁴⁴ Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: ^45 (A)“Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of their livestock. The Levites shall be Mine: I am the Lord. ⁴⁶ And for ^(B)the redemption of the two hundred and seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of Israel, ^(C)who are more than the number of the Levites, ⁴⁷ you shall take ^(D)five shekels for each one ^(E)individually; you shall take them in the currency of the shekel of the sanctuary, ^(F)the shekel of twenty gerahs. ⁴⁸ And you shall give the money, with which the excess number of them is redeemed, to Aaron and his sons.”

⁴⁹ So Moses took the redemption money from those who were over and above those who were redeemed by the Levites. ⁵⁰ From the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money, ^(G)one thousand three hundred and sixty-five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary. ⁵¹ And Moses ^(H)gave their redemption money to Aaron and his sons, according to the word of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
