Friday Bamidbar

from Daily Chumash

G‑d then tells Moses to count all the firstborn Israelites — because the holiness of each Israelite firstborn was now to be "transferred" to a Levite. The census revealed that there were 273 more firstborn than Levites. Each of these "extra" firstborns (as determined by a lottery) gave five shekel to the priests, and was thus "redeemed."
