Numbers 8:6-14

CLV(i) 6 Take the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel and cleanse them. 7 Thus shall you do to them to cleanse them:spatter water of purification from sin over them, let them pass a razor over all their flesh, let them rinse their garments and so cleanse themselves. 8 They will take a young bull (a calf of the herd) and its approach present of flour mingled with oil; then you shall take a second young bull (a calf of the herd) for a sin offering. 9 You will bring near the Levites before the tent of appointment and assemble the whole congregation of the sons of Israel. 10 When you bring near the Levites before Yahweh, then the sons of Israel will support their hands on the Levites, 11 and Aaron will wave the Levites as a wave offering before Yahweh from the sons of Israel, so that they will come to serve in the service of Yahweh. 12 And the Levites, they shall support their hands on the heads of the young bulls. Then offer the one as a sin offering and the other as an ascent offering to Yahweh to make a propitiatory shelter over the Levites. 13 Have the Levites stand before Aaron and before his sons, and wave them as a wave offering before Yahweh. 14 Thus you will separate the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, so that the Levites become Mine.
