⁴¹ You are to take the Levites for me—I am the Lord—in place of every firstborn among the Israelites, and the Levites’ cattle in place of every firstborn among the Israelites’ cattle.”

⁴⁰ This way you will remember and obey all my commands and be holy to your God. ⁴¹ I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God; I am the Lord your God.”^(A)
