46There are 273 more firstborn male Israelites than there are Levites. 47It will cost you two ounces of silver per person (using the standard weight of the holy place) to buy them back. 48Give the silver to Aaron and his sons. It will buy back those Israelites who outnumber the Levites.”

And as the redemption price for the 273 of the firstborn of the people of Israel, over and above the number of the male Levites, you shall take five shekels per head; you shall take them according to the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel of twenty gerahs), and give the money to Aaron and his sons as the redemption price for those who are over.”

NIVNew International Version (2011)

CSBChristian Standard Bible

As the redemption price for the 273 firstborn Israelites who outnumber the Levites, collect five shekels for each person, according to the standard sanctuary shekel—twenty gerahs to the shekel. Give the silver to Aaron and his sons as the redemption price for those who are in excess among the Israelites.”

NLTNew Living Translation

There are 273 more firstborn sons of Israel than there are Levites. To redeem these extra firstborn sons, collect five pieces of silver for each of them (each piece weighing the same as the sanctuary shekel, which equals twenty gerahs). Give the silver to Aaron and his sons as the redemption price for the extra firstborn sons.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And the ransom of the two hundred and seventy-three of the firstborn of the Israelites who are excessive over the Levites, you will receive five shekels a person, in the sanctuary shekel; you will collect twenty gerahs per shekel. You will give the money to Aaron, and to his sons the ransom of the ones who are excessive among them.”

KJV 1900King James Version

And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites; Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them: (the shekel is twenty gerahs:) And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.
