SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:40
¶ Y el SEÑOR dijo a Moisés: Cuenta todos los primogénitos varones de los hijos de Israel de un mes arriba, y toma la cuenta de los nombres de ellos.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 40. And the Lord said unto Moses , etc.] After he had taken the number of the Levites: number all the firstborn of the children of Israel, from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names ; that they might be compared with the number of the Levites, and the difference between them observed.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 40-51 - The number of the first-born, and that of the Levites, came near to each other. Known unto God are all his works beforehand; there is a exact proportion between them, and so it will appear, when they ar compared together. The small number of first-born, over and above the number of the Levites, were to be redeemed, and the redemption-mone given to Aaron. The church is called the church of the first-born which is redeemed, not as they were, with silver and gold; but, being devoted by sin to the justice of God, is ransomed with the preciou blood of the Son of God. All men are the Lord's by creation, and all true christians are his by redemption. Each should know his own pos and duty; nor can any service required by such a Master be rightl accounted mean or hard __________________________________________________________________
