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.
3:13 For every first-born [is] mine; in the day in which I smote every
first-born in the land of Egypt, I sanctified to myself every first-born in
Israel: both of man and beast, they shall be mine: I [am] Yehovah.
3:14 And Yehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sina, saying,

Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the
children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;
3:13 Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the
firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in
