And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
“Take the Levites, in place of the firstborn of the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites, in place of their cattle, and so the Levites shall be mine. I am the Lord.
But for the price of the two hundred and seventy-three, which exceed the number of the Levites compared to the number of firstborn of the sons of Israel,
you shall take five shekels for each head, by the measure of the Sanctuary. A shekel has twenty obols.
And you shall give the money to Aaron and his sons as the price of those that are in excess.”
