THE MESSAGE
Again God spoke to Moses. He said, "Take the Levites in place of all the firstborn of Israel and the livestock of the Levites in place of their livestock. The Levites are mine, I am God . Redeem the 273 firstborn Israelites who exceed the number of Levites by collecting five shekels for each one, using the Sanctuary shekel (the shekel weighing twenty gerahs). Give that money to Aaron and his sons for the redemption of the excess number of Israelites."

Contextual Overview

⁴⁰The Lord told Moses: “Register every firstborn male of the Israelites one month old or more, and list their names. ⁴¹You are to take the Levites for me—I am the Lord—in place of every firstborn among the Israelites, and the Levites’ cattle in place of every firstborn among the Israelites’ cattle.” ⁴²So Moses registered every firstborn among the Israelites, as the Lord commanded him. ⁴³The total number of the firstborn males one month old or more listed by name was 22,273. ⁴⁴The Lord spoke to Moses again: ⁴⁵“Take the Levites in place of every firstborn among the Israelites, and the Levites’ cattle in place of their cattle. The Levites belong to me; I am the Lord. ⁴⁶As the redemption price for the 273 firstborn Israelites who outnumber the Levites, ⁴⁷collect five shekels for each person, according to the standard sanctuary shekel—twenty gerahs to the shekel. ⁴⁸Give the silver to Aaron and his sons as the redemption price for those who are in excess among the Israelites.” ⁴⁹So Moses collected the redemption amount from those in excess of the ones redeemed by the Levites.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Lord spake unto Moses,.... After the number was taken, and gave him directions what to do upon it:

saying; as follows.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This redemption money (see the marginal references) would perhaps be exacted from the parents of the “youngest” children of the 22,273 Numbers 3:43. The cattle of the Levites was doubtless taken in the gross as an equivalent for the first-born cattle of the other tribes, which of course, no less than the first-born of men, belonged to the Lord; and in future would have to be redeemed Numbers 18:15; Deuteronomy 15:19.
