39. All that were counted of the Levi'im, which Moshe and Aharon numbered at the command of Hashem, by their mishpekhot, all the zakhar from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.
40. And Hashem said unto Moshe, Count all the bechor of the zakhar of the Bnei Yisroel from a month old and upward, and calculate the total by their shmot.
41. And thou shalt take the Levi'im for Me-I am Hashem-instead of all the bechor among the Bnei Yisroel; and the cattle of the Levi'im instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the Bnei Yisroel.
42. And Moshe counted, as Hashem commanded him, all the bechor among the Bnei Yisroel.
43. And it came about that all the bechor zakhar by the number of shmot, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen.
