קַ֣ח אֶת־הַלְוִיִּ֗ם תַּ֤חַת כָּל־בְּכוֹר֙ בִּבְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְאֶת־בֶּהֱמַ֥ת הַלְוִיִּ֖ם תַּ֣חַת בְּהֶמְתָּ֑ם וְהָיוּ־לִ֥י הַלְוִיִּ֖ם אֲנִ֥י יְהוָֽה׃
"Prends les Lévites à la place de tous les premiers-nés des enfants d’Israël, et le bétail des Lévites à la place de leur bétail, les Lévites devant m’appartenir, à moi l’Éternel.
Targum Jonathan
Bring near the Levites instead of every first-born among Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle, that the Levites may minister before me: I am the Lord.
Tafsir Rasag
"Take the Levites in place of every firstborn among the children of Israel, and the Levites' animals in place of their animals, so they may become Mine—I, God, have honored them."
