But the bible has 7500+8600+6200=22,000 in Numbers 3.
It appears the Levites did the math so the firstborn sons of Israel (a child who is male and is the first born child is firstborn)
so the firstborns pay 1365 shekels silver to the Levite treasury. In fact, the Levites owe 135 shekels.
Here's the math.
22,273 first born sons.
22,000 Levite males 1 month or older. (7500+8600+6200) Numbers 3:22,28,34
273 each pay 5 shekels = 1365
The bible rounds the Levites to the nearest thousand while counted firstborn sons to the nearest one.
correct math
22,300 Levites
22,273 firstborns
27 Levites should pay 5 shekels = 135 shekels
The firstborn sons lose 300 times 5 = 1500 shekels (paid 1365 but are owed 135, 1365 plus 135 = 1500)
Jesus was in the tomb on the 15th day of the year.
The Levites cheated Jesus.
Jesus is the firstbornson of God. Colossians 1 ;15,18 Hebrews 12:23
In this case, the archetype of Shem and Abram before he was renamed Abraham show both were born third but they are listed first in the genealogies. Noah begat shem, Ham andJapheth. Terah age 70 begat ABram, Nahor and Haran. Japheth is the oldest genesis 10:21. abram is 130 years younger than Terah when he buried his father.
In Luke 9:35, at the mt. of transfiguration, God says that Jesus is my chosen son. King James Luke 9:35 and Matthew and Mark in KJV and all modern bibles have God say that Jesus is my beloved Son.
this fits the pattern of Genesis 22:2,12,16 only son, only son, only son in KJV
beloved son, beloved son, only son in modern bibles.
