Numbers 8:6-22

6“TakeH3947 the LevitesH3881 from amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 and 1cleanseH2891 them. 7ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 you shall doH6213 to them, for their cleansingH2891: sprinkleH5137 2purifyingH2891 3waterH4325 on them, and have them 45useH5674 a razorH8593 overH5921 their wholeH3605 6bodyH1320, and they shall 7washH3526 their clothesH899 and cleanseH2891 themselves. 8Then have them takeH3947 a 8bullH6499H1121H1241 with 9its grain offeringH4503, fineH5560 flourH5560 mixedH1101 with oilH8081; and you shall takeH3947 a secondH8145 10bullH6499 as a sinH2403 offeringH2403. 9So 11you shall presentH7126 the LevitesH3881 in frontH6440 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 12You shall also assembleH6950 the wholeH3605 congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, 10and presentH7126 the LevitesH3881 beforeH6440 the LordH3068; and the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 13shall layH5564 their handsH3027 on the LevitesH3881. 11AaronH175 then shall 14presentH5130 the LevitesH3881 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 as a 15waveH8573 offeringH8573 from the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, so that they may 16qualifyH1961 to performH5647 the serviceH5656 of the LordH3068. 12Now 17the LevitesH3881 shall layH5564 their handsH3027 on the headsH7218 of the bullsH6499; then you are to offerH6213 the oneH259 as a sinH2403 offeringH2403 and the otherH259 as a burntH5930 offeringH5930 to the LordH3068, to makeH3722 atonementH3722 for the LevitesH3881. 13And you shall have the LevitesH3881 standH5975 beforeH6440 AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 so as to presentH5130 them as a waveH8573 offeringH8573 to the LordH3068.

14“So you shall singleH914 outH914 the LevitesH3881 from amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, and 18the LevitesH3881 shall be Mine. 15Then afterH310 that the LevitesH3881 may goH935 inH935 to serveH5647 the tentH168 of meetingH4150. But you shall cleanseH2891 them and 19presentH5130 them as a waveH8573 offeringH8573; 16for they are 20exclusivelyH5414 givenH5414 to Me from amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. I have takenH3947 them for Myself 21insteadH8478 ofH8478 the firstbornH6363 of everyH3605 wombH7358, the firstbornH1060 of allH3605 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 17For 22everyH3605 firstbornH1060 among the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 is Mine, among the peopleH120 and among the animalsH929; on the dayH3117 that I fatallyH5221 struckH5221 allH3605 the firstbornH1060 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, I sanctifiedH6942 them for Myself. 18But I have takenH3947 the LevitesH3881 insteadH8478 ofH8478 everyH3605 firstbornH1060 among the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 19And 23I have givenH5414 the LevitesH3881 as 24a giftH5414 to AaronH175 and to his sonsH1121 from amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, to performH5647 the serviceH5656 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 at the tentH168 of meetingH4150 and to makeH3722 atonementH3722 onH5921 behalfH5921 ofH5921 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, so that there will be noH3808 25afflictionH5063 among the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 due to 26their approachingH5066 the sanctuaryH6944.”

20So this is what MosesH4872, AaronH175, and allH3605 the congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 to the LevitesH3881; according to everythingH3605 that the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872 regarding the LevitesH3881, soH3651 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 to them. 2127The LevitesH3881, too, purifiedH2398 themselves fromH2398 sinH2398 and washedH3526 their clothesH899; and AaronH175 presentedH5130 them as a waveH8573 offeringH8573 beforeH6440 the LordH3068. AaronH175 also madeH3722 atonementH3722 for them to cleanseH2891 them. 22Then afterH310 that the LevitesH3881 wentH935 inH935 to performH5647 their serviceH5656 in the tentH168 of meetingH4150 beforeH6440 AaronH175 and his sonsH1121; justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872 concerningH5921 the LevitesH3881, soH3651 they didH6213 to them.
