kohen priest - Source for bechorot losing/reclaiming priesthood


At a parshat hashavua shiur that I regularly attend, the rabbi has stated on multiple occasions that the bechorot (firstborn sons of Israel) were supposed to serve the purpose that the Leviim and Kohanim served, but they lost that privelege because they were responsible for the egel hazahav (golden calf). He says that in the times of mashiach, the bechorot will once again take the place as priests.


Does anybody know the source for this statement?
