Numbers 3:46-48

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴⁶ There are 22,000 Levites, but there are 22,273 firstborn sons from the other families. This leaves 273 more firstborn sons than Levites. ⁴⁷ Using the official measure, collect five shekels^[a] of silver for each of the 273 people. (The shekel by the official measure weighs 20 gerahs.^[b]) Collect that silver from the Israelites. ⁴⁸ Give the silver to Aaron and his sons as payment for the 273 Israelites.’”
