Bamidbar 8:16-18

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁶ For they are wholly given unto Me from among the Bnei Yisroel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the Bechor Kol Bnei Yisroel, have I taken them unto Me.

¹⁷ For Kol Bechor Bnei Yisroel are Mine, both adam and behemah; on the day that I struck down kol bechor in Eretz Mitzrayim I set them apart as kodesh for Myself.

¹⁸ And I have taken the Levi’im tachat (instead of) Kol Bechor Bnei Yisroel.
