When God miraculously destroyed all the first-born of the Egyptians ( Exo 12:29), he spared those of the Israelites; and, in commemoration of that event, he was pleased to appoint that all the first-born males "should be set apart unto himself" ( Exo 13:12-16). God is here pleased to relinquish this claim, and to appoint the whole tribe of Levi to attend his immediate service in their stead. Num 3:41, Num 3:45, Num 8:16, Num 8:18, Num 18:6 Numbers 3:13
