Numbers 8:17-19
English Standard Version
17 (A)For all the firstborn among the people of Israel are mine, both of man and of beast. On the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I consecrated them for myself, 18 and I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the people of Israel. 19 (B)And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons from among the people of Israel, to do the service for the people of Israel at the tent of meeting and (C)to make atonement for the people of Israel, (D)that there may be no plague among the people of Israel when the people of Israel come near the sanctuary.”
