Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Numbers 3 General Notes

Structure and Formatting

1. Preparing to leave Sinai (1:1–10:10) * Counting and assembling the tribes (1:1–4:49)This chapter describes the counting of Levite men and their assignments for taking care of the tent of meeting.

Religious and Cultural Concepts in This Chapter

The tribe of Levi

The Levites had a special role in Israel. They were specially dedicated to serve Yahweh by offering sacrifices in the tent of meeting and taking care of that tent and everything involved in the system of sacrifices. (See: priest)

Ransom

In 3:4551, Yahweh requires the Israelites to pay a ransom to him for the firstborn males that he did not kill during the tenth plague in Egypt, as described in Exodus 12:29 and 13:15. Because Yahweh did not kill the firstborn male people and animals among the Israelites, he considered them to owe him their lives. Instead of taking their lives, Yahweh chose the Levite men to be his special servants in their place. However, the number of Levites was 273 people less than the number of firstborn males, so Yahweh required the people to pay money to him to redeem those additional people. (See: ransom and redeem)
