the_o jew_n say_v the_o priesthood_n be_v whole_o annex_v to_o the_o firstborn_a of_o family_n which_o agree_v well_o with_o the_o sanctify_a of_o the_o firstborn_a command_v in_o egypt_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o jew_n in_o diverse_a place_n affirm_v that_o the_o priesthood_n follow_v the_o birthright_n until_o such_o time_n as_o they_o sin_v in_o worship_v this_o golden_a calf_n but_o

ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d i._o now_o all_o this_o that_o i_o have_v speak_v concern_v the_o first_o bear_v be_v according_a to_o the_o tradition_n of_o our_o doctor_n which_o say_v that_o the_o

16.3_o again_o this_o that_o ramban_n write_v concern_v the_o priesthood_n be_v confirm_v by_o the_o like_a testimony_n of_o r._n bechai_n on_o exod._n 12.1_o pag._n 79._o ground_v upon_o the_o
