Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
five shekels: Numbers 18:16, Leviticus 27:6
the shekel: Numbers 3:50, Exodus 30:13, Leviticus 27:25, Ezekiel 45:12
Reciprocal: Exodus 30:24 - the shekel Exodus 38:24 - the shekel Numbers 3:46 - the two hundred 1 Chronicles 23:24 - by their polls
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thou shall even take five shekels apiece the poll,.... Or head; every firstborn, or his parent for him, was bound to pay five shekels, which were about eleven or twelve shillings of our money, and which was afterwards settled as the price of such a redemption,
Numbers 18:16;
after the shekel of the sanctuary shall thou take [them]; being full weight according to the standard there kept:
the shekel [is] twenty gerahs; Numbers 18:16- :.
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.
