04:008:009 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:
04:008:010 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:
04:008:011 And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the LORD.
04:008:012 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites.
04:008:013 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto the LORD.
04:008:014 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
04:008:015 And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them for an offering.
04:008:016 For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
04:008:017 For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.
04:008:018 And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.
