Numbers 8:8-12 ▼

8 “ They are to take a young bull and its grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil, and you are to take a second young bull for a sin offering.

9 Bring the Levites before the tent of meeting and assemble the entire Israelite community.

10 Then present the Levites before the LORD , and have the Israelites lay their hands on them .

11 Aaron is to present the Levites before the LORD as a presentation offering from the Israelites , so that they may perform the LORD’s work.

12 Next the Levites are to lay their hands on the heads of the bulls. Sacrifice one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to the LORD , to make atonement for the Levites.
