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.
