And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.

Verse 48 is found in chapter 3 of Numbers. God commands the firstborn of Israel to be counted and establishes the Levites as their substitutes. Because the number of firstborn exceeds the number of Levites, a redemption price is established for the difference. The episode connects the organization of worship with the memory of the exodus: the firstborn symbolically belong to God because they were preserved during the final plague in Egypt.

Tu donneras l'argent à Aaron et à ses fils, pour le rachat de ceux qui dépassent le nombre des Lévites.
E da’ ad Aaronne, e a’ suoi figliuoli, i danari del riscatto di coloro che son di avanzo fra’ primogeniti.
E a Arão e a seus filhos darás o dinheiro dos resgatados, dos que sobram entre eles.
你要把這些多出來的人的贖銀交給 亞倫 和他的兒子。」
