“And the Lord said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.”
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, Number all the firstborn of the males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward — the divine word shifts focus to Israel's firstborn, indicating that the substitution of Levites for firstborn requires verification. The enumeration of Israel's firstborn from one month old parallels the Levite census, making the numerical accounting precise.
