Exegesis
The phrase li {לִי֙ | lī} ‘for me’ is reinforced by ani {אֲנִ֣י | ʾănî} ‘I’ and the divine name YHWH {יְהוָ֔ה | Yə-hō-wāh} ‘LORD,’ expressing divine ownership.
In context — Numbers 3:41
You shall take the Levites for Me, I the LORD , instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the livestock of the sons of Israel.
