Numbers 8:15-17
Amplified Bible
15 Then after that the Levites may go in to serve the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle), but you shall cleanse them [first] and present them as a wave offering; 16 for they are wholly given to Me from among the Israelites. I have taken them for Myself instead of [a]all who are born first, the firstborn of all the Israelites. 17 For all the firstborn among the Israelites are Mine, among the men and among the animals; on the day that I struck down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified and set the Israelites apart for Myself.

New International Version
15 “After you have purified the Levites and presented them as a wave offering,(A) they are to come to do their work at the tent of meeting.(B) 16 They are the Israelites who are to be given wholly to me. I have taken them as my own in place of the firstborn,(C) the first male offspring(D) from every Israelite woman. 17 Every firstborn male in Israel, whether human or animal,(E) is mine. When I struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, I set them apart for myself.(F)
