Bamidbar

Every one must have a place,

One’s family, tribe, and people,

‘Cause each one has a job to do,

Whether complicated or simple.

And if the count is off by some,

By such and such a number,

Do counts or people matter most?

It really makes you wonder.

I thought there were six hundred thousand, 

By tribe and family tree,

But this number is more accurate,

Six-hundred-three-thousand-and-five-fifty.

And there were 22,000 Levi’im,

First borns were more by 273,

And this was the first Pidyon HaBen,

Bnai Yisroel had to pay the fee.
