Numbers 8:8-12 ▼

8 Then let them take a bull from the herd with its grain offering, fine flour mixed with oil; and a second bull from the herd you shall take for a sin offering.

9 So you shall bring the Levites near before the tent of meeting. You shall also assemble the whole congregation of the sons of Israel,

10 and bring the Levites near before Yahweh; and the sons of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites.

11 Aaron then shall present the Levites before Yahweh as a wave offering from the sons of Israel, that they may be qualified to perform the service of Yahweh.

12 Now the Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls; then offer the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering to Yahweh, to make atonement for the Levites.
