Numbers 3:48
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.
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.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
