04:003:037 And the pillars of the court round about,
and their sockets,
and
their pins, and their cords.
04:003:038 But those that encamp before the tabernacle
toward the east,
even
before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward,
shall
be
Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of
the
sanctuary
for the charge of the children of Israel; and the
stranger
that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
04:003:039 All that were numbered of the Levites,
which Moses and Aaron
numbered
at the commandment of the lord, throughout their
families,
all the males from a month old and upward, were
twenty
and two thousand.
04:003:040 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.
04:003:041 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.
04:003:042 And Moses numbered, as the lord commanded
him, all the
firstborn
among the children of Israel.
04:003:043 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.
04:003:044 And the lord spake unto Moses, saying,
04:003:045 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.
04:003:046 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;
04:003:047 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:)
04:003:048 And thou shalt give the money, wherewith
the odd number of
them
is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.
04:003:049 And Moses took the redemption money of
them that were over and
above
them that were redeemed by the Levites:
04:003:050 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:
04:003:051 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.
