14And thou shalt separate the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and they shall be mine.
15And afterward the Levites shall go in to perform the works of the tabernacle of witness; and thou shalt purify them, and present them before the Lord.
— Numbers 8:16 —
17For every firstborn among the children of Israel is mine, whether of man or beast: in the day in which I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them to myself.
18And I took the Levites in the place of every firstborn among the children of Israel.
