Numbers 8:14-16
Easy-to-Read Version
14 This will make the Levites holy. They will be different from the other Israelites. The Levites will belong to me.
15 “So make the Levites pure and give them to the Lord as a special offering.[a] After you do this, they can come and do their work at the Meeting Tent. 16 The Israelites will give me the Levites. They will belong to me. In the past I told every Israelite family to give me their firstborn son. But now I am taking the Levites in place of these firstborn sons from the other families in Israel.

15 “After you have purified the Levites and presented them as a wave offering,(B) they are to come to do their work at the tent of meeting.(C) 16 They are the Israelites who are to be given wholly to me.

Numbers 8:14-16
King James Version
14 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
15 And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them for an offering.
16 For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
