THE MESSAGE
Again God spoke to Moses. He said, "Take the Levites in place of all the firstborn of Israel and the livestock of the Levites in place of their livestock. The Levites are mine, I am God . Redeem the 273 firstborn Israelites who exceed the number of Levites by collecting five shekels for each one, using the Sanctuary shekel (the shekel weighing twenty gerahs). Give that money to Aaron and his sons for the redemption of the excess number of Israelites."

Contextual Overview

⁴⁰ The Lord said to Moses, "Count all the firstborn sons in Israel one month old or older, and list their names. ⁴¹ Take the Levites for me instead of the firstborn sons of Israel; take the animals of the Levites instead of the firstborn animals from the rest of Israel. I am the Lord ." ⁴² So Moses did what the Lord commanded and counted all the firstborn sons of the Israelites. ⁴³ When he listed all the firstborn sons one month old or older, there were 22,273 names. ⁴⁴ The Lord also said to Moses, ⁴⁵ "Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn sons of the Israelites, and take the animals of the Levites instead of the animals of the other people. The Levites are mine. I am the Lord . ⁴⁶ Since there are 273 more firstborn sons than Levites, ⁴⁷ collect two ounces of silver for each of the 273 sons. Use the measure as set by the Holy Place, which is two-fifths of an ounce. ⁴⁸ Give the silver to Aaron and his sons as the payment for the 273 Israelites." ⁴⁹ So Moses collected the money for the people the Levites could not replace.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Lord spake unto Moses,.... After the number was taken, and gave him directions what to do upon it:

saying; as follows.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This redemption money (see the marginal references) would perhaps be exacted from the parents of the “youngest” children of the 22,273 Numbers 3:43. The cattle of the Levites was doubtless taken in the gross as an equivalent for the first-born cattle of the other tribes, which of course, no less than the first-born of men, belonged to the Lord; and in future would have to be redeemed Numbers 18:15; Deuteronomy 15:19.
