5. The Lord said to Moses:
6. “Take the Levites from among all the Israelites and make them ceremonially clean.
7. To purify them, do this: Sprinkle the water of cleansing on them; then have them shave their whole bodies and wash their clothes. And so they will purify themselves.
8. Have them take a young bull with its grain offering of the finest flour mixed with olive oil; then you are to take a second young bull for a sin offering.
9. Bring the Levites to the front of the tent of meeting and assemble the whole Israelite community.
