Numbers 8:10-12

New Century Version

¹⁰ When you bring the Levites before the Lord, the Israelites should put their hands on them.^{[a] 11} Aaron will present the Levites before the Lord as an offering presented from the Israelites. Then the Levites will be ready to do the work of the Lord.

¹² “The Levites will put their hands on the bulls’ heads—one bull will be a sin offering to the Lord, and the other will be a burnt offering, to remove the sins of the Levites so they will belong to the Lord.
