ગુજરાતીગણના ૮:૧૬
આ મુજબ કર, કેમ કે ઇઝરાયલપ્રજામાંથી તેઓ મને સંપૂર્ણ અપાયેલા છે. ઇઝરાયલમાંથી સર્વ પ્રથમજનિતો એટલે ગર્ભ ઊઘાડનારનાં બદલે મેં લેવીઓને મારા પોતાને માટે લીધા છે.
हिन्दीगिनती ८:१६
क्योंकि वे इस्राएलियों में से मुझे पूरी रीति से अर्पण किए हुए हैं; मैंने उनको सब इस्राएलियों में से एक-एक स्त्री के पहलौठे के बदले अपना कर लिया है।
