Numbers 8:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ “Take the Levites from among all the Israelites. Make them ‘clean’ in the usual way. ⁷ Here is how to make them pure. Sprinkle the special water on them. Then have them shave their whole bodies. Also have them wash their clothes. That is how they will make themselves pure. ⁸ Have them get a young bull along with its grain offering. The offering must be made out of the finest flour mixed with olive oil. Then you must get a second young bull. You must sacrifice it as a sin offering.
