And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
6 “Frɛ Lewifo no, na fa wɔn ma ɔsɔfo Aaron sɛ nʼaboafo.
Take the tribe of Levi, and you shall set them before Aaron the priest, and they shall minister to him,
7 Wɔbɛyɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu ama ɔsɔfo Aaron ne nnipa no nyinaa.
and shall keep his charges, and the charges of the children of Israel, before the tabernacle of witness, to do the works of the tabernacle.

And you shall give the Levites to Aaron, and to his sons the priests; they are given for a gift to me of the children of Israel.

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
12 “Mayi Lewifo no afi Israelfo no mu de wɔn asi Israel babea biara abakan a ɔyɛ ɔbarima anan mu. Lewifo no yɛ me de,
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 efisɛ abakan biara wɔ me. Bere a mikunkum mmakan wɔ Misraim no, migyaw Israel mmakan, sɛ wɔyɛ nnipa anaa mmoa. Wɔyɛ me dea. Mene Awurade.”
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.
