Moses, I have chosen these Levites from all Israel, and they will belong to me in a special way. When I killed the first-born sons of the Egyptians, I decided that the first-born sons in every Israelite family and the first-born males of their flocks and herds would be mine.

THE MESSAGE
God spoke to Moses: "I have taken the Levites from among the People of Israel as a stand-in for every Israelite mother's firstborn son. The Levites belong to me. All the firstborn are mine—when I killed all the firstborn in Egypt, I consecrated for my own use every firstborn in Israel, whether human or animal. They belong to me. I am God ."

Contextual Overview

¹And these [are] the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day of YHWH's speaking with Moses in Mount Sinai. ²And these [are] the names of the sons of Aaron: the firstborn Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar; ³these [are] the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests, whose hand he has consecrated for acting as priest. ⁴And Nadab dies—Abihu also—before YHWH, in their bringing strange fire near before YHWH, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they did not have sons; and Eleazar—Ithamar also—acts as priest in the presence of their father Aaron. ⁵And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying, ⁶"Bring the tribe of Levi near, and you have caused it to stand before Aaron the priest, and they have served him, ⁷and kept his charge, and the charge of all the congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of the Dwelling Place; ⁸and they have kept all the vessels of the Tent of Meeting, and the charge of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the Dwelling Place; ⁹and you have given the Levites to Aaron and to his sons; they are surely given to him out of the sons of Israel. ¹⁰And you appoint Aaron and his sons, and they have kept their priesthood, and the stranger who comes near is put to death."
