⁴⁸ Give the silver to Aaron and his sons. It will buy the freedom of the additional sons in Israel.”

⁴⁹ So Moses collected the silver from the additional sons in Israel to buy their freedom. The Levites took the place of all the others. ⁵⁰ Moses collected 35 pounds of silver. It was weighed out according to the weights used in the sacred tent. Moses collected it from the oldest sons in Israel.
