Numbers 8:5-8

Cleansing of the Levites

5 Again Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 6 “Take the Levites from among the sons of Israel and ^acleanse them. 7 Thus you shall do to them, for their ¹cleansing: sprinkle ²purifying ^awater on them, and let them ³^buse a razor over their whole ⁴body and ^cwash their clothes, and they will be clean. 8 Then let them take a bull from the herd with ^aits grain offering, fine flour mixed with oil; and a second bull from the herd you shall take for a sin offering.
