¹⁹ “^(A)The ^[a]firstborn from every womb belongs to Me, and all your male livestock, the ^[b]firstborn from ^[c]cattle and sheep.

¹² “Now, behold, I ^(A)have taken the Levites from among the sons of Israel instead of every ^(B)firstborn, the firstborn of the womb among the sons of Israel. So the Levites shall be Mine.

¹⁶ for they are ^(A)exclusively given to Me from among the sons of Israel. I have taken them for Myself ^(B)instead of the firstborn of every womb, the firstborn of all the sons of Israel.

¹² Oh, do not let her be like a dead person, whose flesh is half eaten away when he comes out of his mother’s womb!”

^15 [a](A)Every firstborn of the womb of all flesh, whether human or animal, which they offer to the Lord, shall be yours; however you must redeem the human firstborn, and the firstborn of unclean animals you shall redeem.
