11 And Aaron lifted up the Levites, a lifting up before Jehovah, from the sons of Israel; and they were to serve the service of Jehovah. 12 And the Levites shall place their hands upon the head of the bullocks: and they did the one a sin, and the one a burnt-offering to Jehovah, to expiate for the Levites. 13 And cause the Levites to stand before Aaron and before his sons, and lift them up a lifting up to Jehovah. 14 And separate the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel and the Levites were to me. 15 And after this the Levites shall go in to serve the tent of appointment: and cleanse them, and lift them up a lifting up. 16 For being given, they were given to me from the midst of the sons of Israel; instead of the first-born cleaving every womb, every one from the sons of Israel, have I taken them to me.
