     [were] twenty and two {o} thousand.

     (o) So that the first born of the children of Israel were
         more by 273, as in @Nu 3:43.

Nu 3:41
3:41 And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I [am] the LORD)
     {f} instead of all the firstborn among the children of
     Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the
     firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.

     (f) So that now the Levites should satisfy the Lord for the
         first born of Israel, excepting the 273 which were more
         than the Levites for whom they paid money.
