Numbers 8:8-12 ▼

8 Then they shall take a bull from the herd, along with its grain offering of bran flour mixed with oil; and you shall take another bull from the herd for a purification offering.

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.
