Behold, I have taken the Levites from the midst of the children of Israel, instead of every male that opens the womb from among the children of Israel: they shall be their ransom, and the Levites shall be mine.
13 nokuti matangwe ose ndeangu. Pandakauraya matangwe muIjipiti, ndakazvitsaurira dangwe rimwe nerimwe muIsraeri, angava munhu kana mhuka. Zvinofanira kuva zvangu. Ndini Jehovha.”
For every firstborn [is] mine; in the day in which I struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified to myself every firstborn in Israel: both of man and beast, they shall be mine: I [am] the Lord.
