Leviticus 27:26-27 - Redemption Of The Firstborn

²⁶ Only the firstling which is born a firstling to Yahweh, among beasts, no man shall hallow it, - whether ox or sheep, unto Yahweh, it belongeth. ²⁷ But, if it be among the beasts that are unclean, then shall he ransom it by thine estimate, and add the fifth part of it thereunto, - but, if it is not redeemed, then shall it be sold by thine estimate.

⁴⁰ And Yahweh said unto Moses: Number thou every firstborn male belonging to the sons of Israel, from one month old and upwards, - and reckon up the number of their names; ⁴¹ then shalt thou take the Levites for me, me Yahweh, instead of every firstborn among the sons of Ishmael, - also the cattle of the Levites, instead of every firstling among the cattle of the sons of Israel. ⁴² So then Moses numbered, as Yahweh commanded him, - every firstborn among the sons of Israel. ⁴³ And it was so - that all the firstborn of the males in the counting of names from one month old and upwards of such as were numbered of them, - were two-and-twenty thousand, two hundred and seventy-three.

⁴⁴ Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying: - ⁴⁵ Take the Levites, instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites, instead of their cattle, - so shall the Levites belong unto me, me Yahweh;

⁴⁶ and as the ransom of the two hundred and seventy-three, - who are mere than the Levites, of the firstborn of the sons of Israel, ⁴⁷ thou shalt take five shekels apiece by the poll, - by the shekel of the sanctuary, shalt thou take it, twenty gerahs to the shekel; ⁴⁸ and shalt give the silver to Aaron and to his sons, - as the ransom of them that are in excess over them.

⁴⁹ So Moses took the redemption silver from them who were in excess over them who were redeemed by the Levites: ⁵⁰ from the firstborn of the sons of Israel, took he the silver, - a thousand three hundred and sixty-five shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary, ⁵¹ And Moses gave the redemption silver to Aaron and to his sons at the bidding of Yahweh, - As Yahweh commanded Moses.
