Numbers 3:45-51 Take the Levites instead of every firstborn among the sons of Israel and the beasts of the Levites instead of their beasts. So the Levites become Mine:I am Yahweh.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴⁵ Take the Levites instead of every firstborn among the sons of Israel and the beasts of the Levites instead of their beasts. So the Levites become Mine:I am Yahweh. ⁴⁶ And as the ransoms of the two hundred seventy-three, the superfluity, those over the number of the Levites, from the firstborn of the sons of Israe. ⁴⁷ you will take also five shekels, five shekels per skull. By the shekel of the holy place shall you take them, twenty gerahs to the shekel. ⁴⁸ And you will give the silver to Aaron and to his sons, the ransoms of the superfluity among them. ⁴⁹ So Moses took the silver of the ransoms from the superfluity, those over the ones ransomed by the Levites. ⁵⁰ From the firstborn of the sons of Israel he took the silver, a thousand three hundred sixty-five shekels, by the shekel of the holy place. ⁵¹ And Moses gave the silver of the ransoms to Aaron and to his sons at the bidding of Yahweh, just as Yahweh had instructed Moses.
