|
|
11. The Lord said to Moses,
|
11. And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 , saying H559 ,
|
|
12. "See, I have taken the Levites from among the people of Israel instead of every first-born among the people of Israel. The Levites will be Mine.
|
12. And I H589 , behold H2009 , I have taken H3947 H853 the Levites H3881 from among H4480 H8432 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 instead of H8478 all H3605 the firstborn H1060 that openeth H6363 the matrix H7358 among the children H4480 H1121 of Israel H3478 : therefore the Levites H3881 shall be H1961 mine;
|
|
13. For all the first-born are Mine. On the day that I killed all the first-born in the land of Egypt, I set apart for My own all the first-born in Israel, both man and animal. They will be Mine. I am the Lord."
|
13. Because H3588 all H3605 the firstborn H1060 are mine; for on the day H3117 that I smote H5221 all H3605 the firstborn H1060 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714 I hallowed H6942 unto me all H3605 the firstborn H1060 in Israel H3478 , both man H4480 H120 and H5704 beast H929 : mine shall they be H1961 : I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
|
|
14. Then the Lord said to Moses in the Desert of Sinai,
|
14. And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 in the wilderness H4057 of Sinai H5514 , saying H559 ,

|
|
44. Then the Lord said to Moses,
|
44. And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 , saying H559 ,
|
|
45. "Take the Levites instead of all the first-born sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites. The number of the Levites will be Mine. I am the Lord.
|
45. Take H3947 H853 the Levites H3881 instead of H8478 all H3605 the firstborn H1060 among the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , and the cattle H929 of the Levites H3881 instead of H8478 their cattle H929 ; and the Levites H3881 shall be H1961 mine: I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
|
|
46. There are 273 first-born of the sons of Israel, who are more in number than the Levites. You must pay the price for each of them.
|
46. And for those that are to be redeemed H6299 of the two hundred H3967 and threescore and thirteen H7969 H7657 of the firstborn H4480 H1060 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , which are more H5736 than H5921 the Levites H3881 ;
|
|
47. Take five pieces of silver for each, by the weight of silver agreed upon for the meeting tent.
|
47. Thou shalt even take H3947 five shekels apiece H2568 H2568 H8255 by the poll H1538 , after the shekel H8255 of the sanctuary H6944 shalt thou take H3947 them : (the shekel H8255 is twenty H6242 gerahs H1626 :)
|
|
48. Give the money, the price of those who are more in number than the Levites, to Aaron and his sons."
|
48. And thou shalt give H5414 the money H3701 , wherewith the odd number H5736 of them is to be redeemed H6299 , unto Aaron H175 and to his sons H1121 .
|
|
49. So Moses took the money to pay for those who were more in number than the Levites.
|
49. And Moses H4872 took H3947 the redemption H6306 H853 money H3701 of H4480 H854 them that were over H5736 and above H5921 them that were redeemed H6306 by the Levites H3881 :
|
|
50. He took the money from the first-born sons of Israel, by the weight agreed upon for the meeting tent. He took 1,365 pieces of silver.
|
50. Of H4480 H854 the firstborn H1060 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 took H3947 he H853 the money H3701 ; a thousand H505 three H7969 hundred H3967 and threescore H8346 and five H2568 shekels , after the shekel H8255 of the sanctuary H6944 :
|
|
51. Then Moses gave the money to Aaron and his sons, just as the Lord had told Moses by His Word.
|
51. And Moses H4872 gave H5414 H853 the money H3701 of them that were redeemed H6306 unto Aaron H175 and to his sons H1121 , according to H5921 the word H6310 of the LORD H3068 , as H834 the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 H853 Moses H4872 .
