40 And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Number all ye first borne that are males among the chyldren of Israel, from a moneth olde and aboue, and take the number of their names. 41 And thou shalt appoynt the Leuites to me (for I am the Lorde) for all the first borne of the children of Israel, and the cattell of the Leuites for all the first gendred of the cattell of the chyldren of Israel. 42 And Moyses numbred, as the Lorde commaunded hym, all the first borne of the chyldren of Israel. 43 And all the first borne males, rehearsed by their names, from a moneth olde and aboue, accordyng to their number, were twentie and two thousande, two hundred and threscore and thirteene. 44 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying: 45 Take the Leuites for al the first borne of the chyldren of Israel, and the cattell of the Leuites for their cattell, & the Leuites shalbe myne: I am the Lorde. 46 And for the redeeming of the two hundred and threscore and thirteene, which are mo then the Leuites in the first borne of the chyldren of Israel. 47 Take fiue sicles of euery head, after the wayght of the sanctuarie, the sicle contaynyng twentie gerahs. 48 And geue the money wherewith the odde number of them is redeemed, vnto Aaron and his sonnes. 49 And Moyses toke the redemption money of them that were redeemed, beyng mo then the Leuites:

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

five shekels: Numbers 18:16, Leviticus 27:6

the shekel: Numbers 3:50, Exodus 30:13, Leviticus 27:25, Ezekiel 45:12

Reciprocal: Exodus 30:24 - the shekel Exodus 38:24 - the shekel Numbers 3:46 - the two hundred 1 Chronicles 23:24 - by their polls

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thou shall even take five shekels apiece the poll,.... Or head; every firstborn, or his parent for him, was bound to pay five shekels, which were about eleven or twelve shillings of our money, and which was afterwards settled as the price of such a redemption,

Numbers 18:16;

after the shekel of the sanctuary shall thou take [them]; being full weight according to the standard there kept:

the shekel [is] twenty gerahs; Numbers 18:16- :.

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.
