'Ransom' in the Bible

For the ransom of the 273 of the firstborn of the sons of Israel who are in excess beyond the Levites,

and give the money, the ransom of those who are in excess among them, to Aaron and to his sons.”

So Moses took the ransom money from those who were in excess, beyond those ransomed by the Levites;

Then Moses gave the ransom money to Aaron and to his sons, at the command of the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Moreover, you shall not take ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death, but he shall surely be put to death.

You shall not take ransom for him who has fled to his city of refuge, that he may return to live in the land before the death of the priest.
