Numbers 3:48 in context

The verses around it, from Numbers 3.

44 Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

45 “Take the Levites in place of all the firstborn of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of their livestock. The Levites belong to Me; I am the LORD.

46 To redeem the 273 firstborn Israelites who outnumber the Levites,

47 you are to collect five shekels for each one, according to the sanctuary shekel of twenty gerahs.

48 Give the money to Aaron and his sons as the redemption price for the excess among the Israelites.”

49 So Moses collected the redemption money from those in excess of the number redeemed by the Levites.

50 He collected the money from the firstborn of the Israelites: 1,365 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel.

51 And Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and his sons in obedience to the word of the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.
