Numbers 8:11-14

Rotherham(i) 11 and Aaron shall offer the Levites, as a wave–offering before Yahweh, from among the sons of Israel,––so shall they be for performing the laborious work of Yahweh. 12 And, the Levites, shall lean their hands upon the head of the bullocks; then make thou of the one a sin–bearer, and of the other an ascending–sacrifice unto Yahweh, to put a propitiatory–covering over the Levites. 13 Thus shalt thou cause the Levites to stand before Aaron, and before his sons,––thus shalt thou offer them as a wave–offering unto Yahweh; 14 thus shalt thou separate the Levites out of the midst of the sons of Israel,––thus shall the Levites become mine.
