The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children
of Israel.
NUM 3:42 And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the
firstborn among the children of Israel.
NUM 3:43 And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a
month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty
and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen.
NUM 3:44 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
NUM 3:45 Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the
children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their
cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am the LORD.
