5And YhwhH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, 6TakeH3947 the LevitesH3881 from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and cleanseH2891 them. 7And thus shalt thou doH6213 unto them, to cleanseH2891 them: SprinkleH5137 waterH4325 of purifyingH2403 upon them, and let them shaveH5674H8593 all their fleshH1320, and let them washH3526 their clothesH899, and so make themselves cleanH2891.1 8Then let them takeH3947 a youngH1241H1121 bullockH6499 with his grain offeringH4503, even fine flourH5560 mingledH1101 with oilH8081, and anotherH8145 youngH1241H1121 bullockH6499 shalt thou takeH3947 for a sin offeringH2403. 9And thou shalt bringH7126 the LevitesH3881 beforeH6440 the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150: and thou shalt gatherH6950 the whole assemblyH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 togetherH6950: 10And thou shalt bringH7126 the LevitesH3881 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall putH5564 their handsH3027 upon the LevitesH3881: 11And AaronH175 shall offerH5130 the LevitesH3881 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 for an offeringH8573 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they may executeH5647 the serviceH5656 of YhwhH3068.234 12And the LevitesH3881 shall layH5564 their handsH3027 upon the headsH7218 of the bullocksH6499: and thou shalt offerH6213 the oneH259 for a sin offeringH2403, and the otherH259 for a burnt offeringH5930, unto YhwhH3068, to make an atonementH3722 for the LevitesH3881. 13And thou shalt setH5975 the LevitesH3881 beforeH6440 AaronH175, and beforeH6440 his sonsH1121, and offerH5130 them for an offeringH8573 unto YhwhH3068. 14Thus shalt thou separateH914 the LevitesH3881 from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and the LevitesH3881 shall be mine. 15And afterH310 that shall the LevitesH3881 go inH935 to do the serviceH5647 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150: and thou shalt cleanseH2891 them, and offerH5130 them for an offeringH8573. 16For they are wholly givenH5414 unto me from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; instead of such as openH6363 every wombH7358, even instead of the firstbornH1060 of all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, have I takenH3947 them unto me. 17For all the firstbornH1060 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 are mine, both manH120 and beastH929: on the dayH3117 that I smoteH5221 every firstbornH1060 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 I sanctifiedH6942 them for myself. 18And I have takenH3947 the LevitesH3881 for all the firstbornH1060 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. 19And I have givenH5414 the LevitesH3881 as a giftH5414 to AaronH175 and to his sonsH1121 from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, to doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and to make an atonementH3722 for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: that there be no plagueH5063 among the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 come nighH5066 unto the sanctuaryH6944.5 20And MosesH4872, and AaronH175, and all the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, didH6213 to the LevitesH3881 according unto all that YhwhH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872 concerning the LevitesH3881, so didH6213 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 unto them. 21And the LevitesH3881 were purifiedH2398, and they washedH3526 their clothesH899; and AaronH175 offeredH5130 them as an offeringH8573 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068; and AaronH175 made an atonementH3722 for them to cleanseH2891 them. 22And afterH310 that wentH935 the LevitesH3881 in to doH5647 their serviceH5656 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150 beforeH6440 AaronH175, and beforeH6440 his sonsH1121: as YhwhH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872 concerning the LevitesH3881, so didH6213 they unto them.
