^6 (A)“Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may serve him.

¹⁴ Thus you shall ^(A)separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be ^(B)Mine.

² Also bring with you your brethren of the ^(A)tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, that they may be ^(B)joined with you and serve you while you and your sons are with you before the tabernacle of ^[a]witness.

⁶ Behold, I Myself have ^(A)taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel; ^(B)they are a gift to you, given by the Lord, to do the work of the tabernacle of meeting.

¹⁶ They stood in their ^(A)place ^[a]according to their custom, according to the Law of Moses the man of God; the priests sprinkled the blood received from the hand of the Levites.

¹⁷ For there were many in the assembly who had not ^[a]sanctified themselves; ^(A)therefore the Levites had charge of the slaughter of the Passover lambs for everyone who was not clean, to sanctify them to the Lord.
