Numbers 8:13-19

13You are to have the LevitesH3881 standH5975 beforeH6440 AaronH175H6440 and his sonsH1121 and then presentH5130 themH853 before the LORDH3068 as a wave offeringH8573. 14In this way you shall separateH914 the LevitesH3881 fromH8432 the rest of the IsraelitesH1121H3478, and the LevitesH3881 will belongH1961 to Me. 15AfterH310 you have cleansedH2891 themH853 and presentedH5130 themH853 as a wave offeringH8573, they may comeH935 to serveH5647 at the TentH168 of MeetingH4150.

16ForH3588 the Levites have been wholly givenH5414 to Me from amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. I have takenH3947 themH853 for Myself in place ofH8478 allH3605 who come firstH6363 from the wombH7358, the firstbornH1060 of allH3605 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 17ForH3588 everyH3605 firstbornH1060 maleH1121 in IsraelH3478 is Mine, both manH120 and beastH929. I set them apartH6942 for Myself on the dayH3117 I struck downH5221 allH3605 the firstbornH1060 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 18But I have takenH3947 the LevitesH3881 in place ofH8478 allH3605 the firstbornH1060 among the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 19And I have givenH5414 the LevitesH3881 as a giftH5414 to AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 from amongH8432 the IsraelitesH1121H3478, to performH5647 the serviceH5656 for the IsraelitesH1121H3478 at the TentH168 of MeetingH4150 and to make atonementH3722 on theirH1121H3478 behalfH5921, so that noH3808 plagueH5063 will comeH1961 against the IsraelitesH1121H3478 when theyH1121H3478H413 approachH5066 the sanctuaryH6944.”
