How do you get this number in Numbers 3:46

[Jocelyn]

Hi Shimu,

How do you get the number 273 in Numbers 3:46? The total number of
the male of Levites a month old and older adds up to 44300, which is
greater than 22273, the number of all firstborns of Israelites.
(Numbers 3:43)

Please compare the verse 3:39 & 3:43, you can see the difference is
273.

Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.

Dear Shimu,

Verse 3:39 is where my question came from. In the previous verses of
this chapter, it shows that there were 7500 of males one month old and
upward in the Gershonites, 8600 in the Kohathites, and 6200 in the
Merarites. The total of the three groups came to 22300 already, but
not 22000, not to mention those that were in Moses' and Aaron's
families. Previously I thought that 22000 was the number of males in
Moses' and Aaron's families. Sorry to bother you with such math
problem. God bless.

Dear Jocelyn:

的確若從數字的加減來看是有出入的, 我也不知是如何算的,是否他們在算記時將體有殘缺者就刷去了呢? 聖經上並沒有解釋, 但我相信聖經上的記載,
特別在這一部份是關係到利未人代替以色列族首生的,是要歸耶和華的, 並且有贖銀的.
