Numbers 8:18-20

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁸ But now I have not taken all the firstborn sons among the Israelites. I have taken the Levites instead. ¹⁹ And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the Israelites. They will work at the Tent of Meeting on behalf of the Israelites. And they will make peace with me on behalf of the Israelites. So there will not be a bad disease among the Israelites when they go near to God's Holy Tent.’

²⁰ So Moses and Aaron and all the Israelites did those things to the Levites. The Israelites did everything that the Lord had said to Moses about the Levites.
