39. All those counted from the Levites whom Moses and Aaron mustered according to the word of Yahweh, according to their clans, every male from one month and above were twenty-two thousand.
40. And Yahweh said to Moses, “Muster every firstborn male from the Israelites from one month and above and count their names.
41. And you will receive the Levites for me—I am Yahweh—in the place of all the firstborn among the Israelites, and the animals of the Levites in the place of all the firstborn among the animals among the Israelites.”
42. So Moses mustered all the firstborn among the Israelites just as Yahweh commanded him.
43. And all the firstborn males among the number of names from one month and above, the ones counted, were twenty-two thousand two hundred and seventy-three.
