WEB · Bible Passage

Bible Text

[16] For they are wholly given to me from among the children of Israel; instead of all who open the womb, even the firstborn of all the children of Israel, I have taken them to me. [17] For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are mine, both man and animal. On the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for myself. [18] I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
