以色列人中頭生的男子比利未人多二百七十三個，必當將他們贖出來。 你要按人丁，照聖所的平，每人取贖銀五舍客勒（一舍客勒是二十季拉）， 把那多餘之人的贖銀交給亞倫和他的兒子。」 民數記 3:46-48
But since there are more first-born sons than Levites, the extra 273 men and boys must be bought back from me. For each one, you are to collect five pieces of silver, weighed according to the official standards. This money must then be given to Aaron and his sons.” Numbers 3:46-48
