Numbers 8:16 in Context — Numbers 8
14 Tu sépareras les Lévites du milieu des enfants d’Israël; et les Lévites m’appartiendront.
15 Après cela, les Lévites viendront faire le service dans la tente d’assignation. C’est ainsi que tu les purifieras, et que tu les feras tourner de côté et d’autre comme une offrande.
16 Car ils me sont entièrement donnés du milieu des enfants d’Israël: je les ai pris pour moi à la place des premiers-nés, de tous les premiers-nés des enfants d’Israël.
17 Car tout premier-né des enfants d’Israël m’appartient, tant des hommes que des animaux; le jour où j’ai frappé tous les premiers-nés dans le pays d’Égypte, je me les suis consacrés.
18 Et j’ai pris les Lévites à la place de tous les premiers-nés des enfants d’Israël.
