Numbers 8:9

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.

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.

Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Book Notes

Numbers

NUMBERS. This book is so called because it contains an account of the enumeration and arrangement of the Israelites. The early part of it, from the first through the tenth chapters, appears to be a supplement to Leviticus, being occupied with relating the appointment of the Levites to the sacred offices. The journal of the march through the wilderness is then given as far as Numbers 21:20; after which the early incidents of the invasion are narrated. One direct quotation only from this book (Numbers 16:5) is made in the New Testament (II Timothy 2:19); but indirect references to it by the later sacred writers are very numerous.
