Numbers 3:45

43 And all the firstborn males, according to the number of names from a month old and above, of those who were numbered of them, were twenty-two thousand two hundred and seventy-three.

44 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

45 ^a“Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of their livestock. The Levites shall be Mine: I am the Lord.

46 And for ^athe redemption of the two hundred and seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of Israel, ^bwho are more than the number of the Levites,

47 you shall take ^afive shekels for each one ^bindividually; you shall take them in the currency of the shekel of the sanctuary, ^cthe shekel of twenty gerahs.

48 And you shall give the money, with which the excess number of them is redeemed, to Aaron and his sons.”
