* For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine , both man and beast : on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself . * And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel . * And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel , to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation , and to make an atonement for the children of Israel : that there be no plague among the children of Israel , when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary .
