Numbers 3:40
"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."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And the Lord said unto Moses,.... 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.
