Numbers 8:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ That is how I want you to set apart the Levites from the other Israelites. The Levites will belong to me.

¹⁵ “Make the Levites pure. Give them to me as a wave offering. Then they must come to do their work at the tent of meeting. ¹⁶ They are the Israelites who will be given to me completely. I have taken them to be my own. I have taken them in place of every son born first in his family in Israel.
