Numbers 3:45-47
New Living Translation
45 “Take the Levites as substitutes for the firstborn sons of the people of Israel. And take the livestock of the Levites as substitutes for the firstborn livestock of the people of Israel. The Levites belong to me; I am the Lord. 46 There are 273 more firstborn sons of Israel than there are Levites. To redeem these extra firstborn sons, 47 collect five pieces of silver[a] for each of them (each piece weighing the same as the sanctuary shekel, which equals twenty gerahs).
