6. `Bring near the tribe of Levi, and thou hast caused it to stand before Aaron the priest, and they have served him,

8. and they have kept all the vessels of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle;
9. and thou hast given the Levites to Aaron and to his sons; they are surely given to him out of the sons of Israel.

11. And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
12. `And I, lo, I have taken the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel instead of every first-born opening a womb among the sons of Israel, and the Levites have been Mine;
13. for Mine `is' every first-born, in the day of My smiting every first-born in the land of Egypt I have sanctified to Myself every first-born in Israel, from man unto beast; Mine they are; I `am' Jehovah.'
14. And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
15. `Number the sons of Levi by the house of their fathers, by their families; every male from a son of a month and upward thou dost number them.'

37. and the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords.

40. And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Number every first-born male of the sons of Israel from a son of a month and upward, and take up the number of their names;
41. and thou hast taken the Levites for Me (I `am' Jehovah), instead of every first-born among the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of every firstling among the cattle of the sons of Israel.'
42. And Moses numbereth, as Jehovah hath commanded him, all the first-born among the sons of Israel.

45. `Take the Levites instead of every first-born among the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites have been Mine; I `am' Jehovah.
46. `And `from' those ransomed of the two hundred and seventy and three (who are more than the Levites) of the first-born of the sons of Israel,
47. thou hast even taken five shekels a-piece by the poll -- by the shekel of the sanctuary thou takest; twenty gerahs the shekel `is';
48. and thou hast given the money to Aaron, and to his sons, whereby those over and above are ransomed.'
49. And Moses taketh the ransom money from those over and above those ransomed by the Levites;
50. from the first-born of the sons of Israel he hath taken the money, a thousand and three hundred and sixty and five -- by the shekel of the sanctuary;
51. and Moses giveth the money of those ransomed to Aaron, and to his sons, according to the command of Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
