6 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and purify them.
7 And in this manner thou shalt perform their purification. Thou shalt sprinkle them with the water of purification, and a razor shall pass over their whole body, and they shall wash their clothes, and they will be clean.
8 Then they shall take a young bull from the herd, with his sacrifice, to wit, fine flour mixed up with oil; and thou shalt take a yearling bull from the herd for a sin offering,
9 and bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the testimony, and assemble all the congregation of Israel's sons,
10 and present the Levites before the Lord. And the sons of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites;
11 and Aaron shall set the Levites apart before the Lord, as a gift from the sons of Israel; and they shall be set apart to perform the works of the Lord.
12 Then the Levites shall lay their hands on the head of the young bulls. And thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a whole burnt offering, to make atonement for them.
13 Then thou shalt place the Levites before the Lord, and before Aaron and before his sons, and give them as a gift before the Lord.
14 thou shalt separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, and they shall belong to me.
15 And after this, the Levites shall go in to do the works of the tabernacle of the testimony, when thou hast purified them, and given them up before the Lord.
