Numbers 8:1 (NIV) New International Version

1 The LORD said to Moses,
2 "Speak to Aaron and say to him,`When you set up the seven lamps, they are to light the area in front of the lampstand.'"
3 Aaron did so; he set up the lamps so that they faced forward on the lampstand, just as the LORD commanded Moses.
4 This is how the lampstand was made: It was made of hammered gold--from its base to its blossoms. The lampstand was made exactly like the pattern the LORD had shown Moses.
5 The LORD said to Moses:
6 "Take the Levites from among the other Israelites and make them ceremonially clean.
7 To purify them, do this: Sprinkle the water of cleansing on them; then make them shave their whole bodies and wash their clothes, and so purify themselves.
8 Make them take a young bull with its grain offering of fine flour mixed with 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.
10 You are to bring the Levites before the LORD, and the Israelites are to lay their hands on them.
11 Aaron is to present the Levites before the LORD as a wave offering from the Israelites, so that they may be ready to do the work of the LORD.
12 "After the Levites lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, use the one for a sin offering to the LORD and the other for a burnt offering, to make atonement for the Levites.
13 Make the Levites stand in front of Aaron and his sons and then present them as a wave offering to the LORD.
14 In this way you are to set the Levites apart from the other Israelites, and the Levites will be mine.
15 "After you have purified the Levites and presented them as a wave offering, they are to come to do their work at the Tent of Meeting.
16 They are the Israelites who are to be given wholly to me. I have taken them as my own in place of the firstborn, the first male offspring from every Israelite woman.
17 Every firstborn male in Israel, whether man or animal, is mine. When I struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, I set them apart for myself.
18 And I have taken the Levites in place of all the firstborn sons in Israel.
19 Of all the Israelites, I have given the Levites as gifts to Aaron and his sons to do the work at the Tent of Meeting on behalf of the Israelites and to make atonement for them so that no plague will strike the Israelites when they go near the sanctuary."
20 Moses, Aaron and the whole Israelite community did with the Levites just as the LORD commanded Moses.
21 The Levites purified themselves and washed their clothes. Then Aaron presented them as a wave offering before the LORD and made atonement for them to purify them.
22 After that, the Levites came to do their work at the Tent of Meeting under the supervision of Aaron and his sons. They did with the Levites just as the LORD commanded Moses.
23 The LORD said to Moses,
24 "This applies to the Levites: Men twenty-five years old or more shall come to take part in the work at the Tent of Meeting,
25 but at the age of fifty, they must retire from their regular service and work no longer.
26 They may assist their brothers in performing their duties at the Tent of Meeting, but they themselves must not do the work. This, then, is how you are to assign the responsibilities of the Levites."

2 Speak H1696 VPFC unto H413 PREP Aaron H175 , and say H559 unto H413 PREP-3MS him , When thou lightest H5927 the lamps H5216 , the seven H7651 RMS lamps H5216 shall give light H215 over against H413 PREP 6 H6440 PREP the candlestick H4501 .

12 And the Levites H3881 shall lay H5564 their hands H3027 CFD-3MP upon H5921 PREP the heads H7218 NMS of the bullocks H6499 : and thou shalt offer H6213 the one H259 for a sin offering H2403 CFS , and the other H259 for a burnt offering H5930 , unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS , to make an atonement H3722 for H5921 PREP the Levites H3881 .

14 Thus shalt thou separate H914 the Levites H3881 from among H8432 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 : and the Levites H3881 shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS mine .

16 For H3588 CONJ they H1992 PPRO-3MP are wholly given H5414 unto me from among H8432 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 ; instead of H8478 NMS such as open H6363 every H3605 NMS womb H7358 NMS , even instead of the firstborn H1060 CMS of all H3605 NMS the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , have I taken H3947 them unto me .
17 For H3588 CONJ all H3605 CMS the firstborn H1060 CMS of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 are mine , both man H120 and beast H929 WB-NFS : on the day H3117 B-NMS that I smote H5221 every H3605 CMS firstborn H1060 CMS in the land H776 B-GFS of Egypt H4714 EFS I sanctified H6942 them for myself .
