6
Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
7
Thus shall you do to them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of expiation on them, and let them cause a razor to pass over all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.
8
Then let them take a young bull, and its meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil; and another young bull shall you take for a sin- offering.
9
You shall present the Levites before the tent of meeting: and you shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel:
10
and you shall present the Levites before Yahweh. The children of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites:
11
and Aaron shall offer the Levites before Yahweh for a wave-offering, on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be theirs to do the service of Yahweh.
12
The Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls: and offer you the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt offering, to Yahweh, to make atonement for the Levites.
13
You shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for a wave-offering to Yahweh.
14
Thus shall you separate the Levites from among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine.
15
After that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tent of meeting: and you shall cleanse them, and offer them for a wave-offering.
