⁴³ He counted 22,273 firstborn males who were one month old or older. He made a list of their names.

⁴⁴ Then the Lord said to Moses, ⁴⁵ ‘Do not take the firstborn males among the people to belong to me. Accept the Levites instead. Do not use the firstborn animals of the people. Accept the animals of the Levites instead. The Levites will belong to me. I am the Lord.
