9 Bringing the Levites before the tent of meeting, you shall assemble also the whole community of the Israelites.
10 When you have brought the Levites before the Lord, the Israelites shall lay their hands upon them.
11 Aaron shall then present the Levites before the Lord as an elevated offering from the Israelites, that they may perform the service of the Lord.
12 The Levites in turn shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, offering one as a purification offering and the other as a burnt offering to the Lord, to make atonement for the Levites.
13 Then you shall have the Levites stand before Aaron and his sons, and you shall present them as an elevated offering to the Lord;
14 thus you shall separate the Levites from the rest of the Israelites, and the Levites shall belong to me.
15 Only then shall the Levites enter upon their service in the tent of meeting, when you have cleansed them and presented them as an elevated offering.
