Numbers 8:14-16

Good News Translation

¹⁴ Separate the Levites in this way from the rest of the Israelites, so that they will belong to me. ¹⁵ After you have purified and dedicated the Levites, they will be qualified to work in the Tent. ¹⁶ I have claimed them in the place of all the first-born sons of the Israelites, and they belong to me alone.
