and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the first-born among the cattle of the sons of Israel. ⁴² And Moses reviewed as Jehovah commanded him, all the first-born of the sons of Israel. ⁴³ And every first-born male shall be according to the number of names, from the son of a month and above, for those being reviewed, two and twenty thousand three and seventy and two hundred. ⁴⁴ And Jehovah will speak to Moses, saying, ⁴⁵ Take the Levites instead of all the first-born of the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle;

five and sixty and three hundred and a thousand, according to the holy shekel. ⁵¹ And Moses will give the silver of those being redeemed, to Aaron and to his sons, at the mouth of Jehovah, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
