11 And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering from the children of Israel, that they may perform the service of the LORD. 12 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks, and you shall offer the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering to the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites. 13 And you shall make the Levites stand before Aaron and before his sons, and offer them for an offering to the LORD. 14 Thus shall you separate the Levites from among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine. 15 And after that the Levites shall go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and you shall cleanse them, and offer them for an offering before the LORD. 16 For they are wholly given to me as a gift from among the children of Israel; instead of all that open the womb, even instead of the first-born of all the children of Israel, have I taken them to me.
