ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴² And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT
