Numbers 8:16 Context
14Thus shalt thou separate the Leuites from among the children of Israel: and the Leuites shalbe mine. 15And after that, shall the Leuites goe in; to doe the seruice of the Tabernacle of the Congregation: and thou shalt clense them, and offer them for an offering. 16For they are wholly giuen vnto me, from among the children of Israel: in stead of such as open euery wombe, euen in stead of the first borne of all the children of Israel, haue I taken them vnto me. 17For all the first borne of the children of Israel, are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote euery first borne in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for my selfe. 18And I haue taken the Leuites for all the first borne of the children of Israel.
