For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
Porque me han sido entregados completamente de entre el pueblo de Israel. En lugar de tomar al primogénito de cada familia—el primer hijo que nace a cada madre—he tomado a los levitas para mí.
Dios tomó a los levitas en lugar de los primogénitos de Israel para que le sirvieran.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In ancient Israel, the firstborn son traditionally belonged to God and would serve in religious duties. However, after the Levites remained faithful during the golden calf incident while others rebelled, God chose the entire Levite tribe to serve as priests and temple workers instead. This meant regular Israelite families could keep their firstborn sons while the Levites took over all religious responsibilities.
