Then the LORD said to Moses, "Count every firstborn male of the sons of Israel from a month old and upward, and make a list of their names.

And the Lord said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.

"And you shall take the Levites for Me—I am the LORD—instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites in place of all the firstborn among the cattle of the sons of Israel."

And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am the Lord ) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.

So Moses counted all the firstborn among the sons of Israel, just as the LORD had commanded him;

And Moses numbered, as the Lord commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.

and all the firstborn males, by the number of names from a month old and upward for their numbered men, were 22,273.

And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen.

Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

"Take the Levites in place of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites in place of their cattle. And the Levites shall be Mine; I am the LORD.

Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am the Lord .

"And as a redemption price for the 273 of the firstborn of the sons of Israel who are in excess of the number of the Levites,

And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites;

you shall take five shekels apiece, per head; you shall take them in terms of the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is twenty gerahs),

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

and you shall give the money, the redemption price of those who are in excess among them, to Aaron and to his sons."

And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.

So Moses took the redemption money from those who were in excess of the number of those redeemed by the Levites;

And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:

from the firstborn of the sons of Israel he took the money in terms of the shekel of the sanctuary, 1,365.

Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:

Then Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and to his sons, at the command of the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the Lord , as the Lord commanded Moses.
