Numbers 8:16 in Context — Numbers 8
14 Assim separarás os levitas dentre os filhos de Israel; e serão meus os levitas
15 E depois disso virão os levitas a ministrar no tabernáculo do testemunho: os expiarás pois, e os oferecerás em oferta.
16 Porque inteiramente são a mim dados os levitas dentre os filhos de Israel, em lugar de todo aquele que abre madre; ei-los tomado para mim em lugar dos primogênitos de todos os filhos de Israel.
17 Porque meu é todo primogênito nos filhos de Israel, tanto de homens como de animais; desde o dia que eu feri todo primogênito na terra do Egito, os santifiquei para mim.
18 E tomei os levitas em lugar de todos os primogênitos nos filhos de Israel.
