^9 (A)And you shall bring the Levites before the tabernacle of meeting, ^(B)and you shall gather together the whole congregation of the children of Israel. ¹⁰ So you shall bring the Levites before the Lord, and the children of Israel ^(C)shall lay their hands on the Levites; ¹¹ and Aaron shall ^[a]offer the Levites before the Lord like a ^(D)wave offering from the children of Israel, that they may perform the work of the Lord.
