Cleansing and Dedication of the Levites
5 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
6 “Take the Levites from among the children of Israel and cleanse them ceremonially.
7 Thus you shall do to them to cleanse them: aSprinkle water of purification on them, and blet them shave all their body, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.
8 Then let them take a young bull with aits grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil, and you shall take another young bull as a sin offering.
9 aAnd you shall bring the Levites before the tabernacle of meeting, band you shall gather together the whole congregation of the children of Israel.
10 So you shall bring the Levites before the Lord, and the children of Israel ashall lay their hands on the Levites;
11 and Aaron shall offer the Levites before the Lord like a awave offering from the children of Israel, that they may perform the work of the Lord.
12 aThen the Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the young bulls, and you shall offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to the Lord, to make atonement for the Levites.
13 “And you shall stand the Levites before Aaron and his sons, and then offer them like a wave offering to the Lord.
14 Thus you shall aseparate the Levites from among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be bMine.
15 After that the Levites shall go in to service the tabernacle of meeting. So you shall cleanse them and aoffer them like a wave offering.
16 For they are awholly given to Me from among the children of Israel; I have taken them for Myself binstead of all who open the womb, the firstborn of all the children of Israel.
