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.’

¹⁰ You are to sound the trumpets over your burnt offerings and your fellowship sacrifices and on your joyous occasions, your appointed festivals, and the beginning of each of your months. They will serve as a reminder for you before your God: I am the Lord your God.’^(A)

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)
