Numbers 8:5-7

New International Reader's Version

Moses Sets Apart the Levites

⁵ The Lord spoke to Moses. He said, 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.
