Numbers 3:11-13

EasyEnglish Bible

¹¹ The Lord also said to Moses, ¹² ‘I will not take the firstborn son of every woman in Israel to belong to me. I will take the Levites instead of them. ¹³ I killed all the firstborn sons of the Egyptians. But I kept the firstborn sons of every person and animal among the Israelites for myself. They belong to me. I am the Lord!’
