⁴⁵ Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel and the animals of the Levites instead of their animals, and the Levites shall be mine; I am the LORD.

⁴⁶ And for the ransoms of the two hundred seventy-three of the firstborn of the sons of Israel, who are more than the Levites,

⁴⁷ thou shalt take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them (the shekel is of twenty gerahs).
