Numbers 3:45-47

New International Reader's Version

⁴⁵ “Take the Levites in place of all the males born first in Israel. Also take the livestock of the Levites in place of the livestock of Israel. The Levites belong to me. I am the Lord. ⁴⁶ But there are 273 more males born first in Israel than there are male Levites. ⁴⁷ Collect two ounces of silver for each of them. Weigh it out according to the standard weights used in the sacred tent.
