Numbers 8:14-16

New Century Version

¹⁴ In this way you must set apart the Levites from the other Israelites; the Levites will be mine.

¹⁵ “Make the Levites pure, and present them as an offering so that they may come to work at the Meeting Tent. ¹⁶ They will be given completely to me from the Israelites; I have taken them for myself instead of the firstborn of every Israelite woman.
