The Levites cleansed and offered as a wave offering

레위인을 정결케 하여 요제로 드림

Numbers 8:5–22: the Levites are cleansed: sprinkled with the water of cleansing, shaved all over and their clothes washed, and the children of Israel lay their hands on them. The Levites lay their hands on the heads of two bulls, one offered as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to make atonement for them, and Aaron offers the Levites before the LORD as a wave offering. The LORD takes them instead of all the firstborn of Israel and gives them to Aaron and his sons; Moses, Aaron and the whole congregation do so, and the Levites go in to serve in the Tent of Meeting.

NUM 8:5–22, engwebp
⁵The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
⁶“Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
⁷You shall do this to them to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of cleansing on them, let them shave their whole bodies with a razor, let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.
⁸Then let them take a young bull and its meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil; and another young bull you shall take for a sin offering.
⁹You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting. You shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel.
¹⁰You shall present the Levites before the LORD. The children of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites,
¹¹and Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for a wave offering on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be theirs to do the service of the LORD.
¹²“The Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, and you shall offer the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering to the LORD, to make atonement for the Levites.
¹³You shall set the Levites before Aaron and before his sons, and offer them as a wave offering to the LORD.
¹⁴Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine.
¹⁵“After that, the Levites shall go in to do the service of the Tent of Meeting. You shall cleanse them, and offer them as a wave offering.
¹⁶For they are wholly given to me from among the children of Israel; instead of all who open the womb, even the firstborn of all the children of Israel, I have taken them to me.
¹⁷For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are mine, both man and animal. On the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for myself.
¹⁸I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
¹⁹I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the Tent of Meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel, so that there will be no plague among the children of Israel when the children of Israel come near to the sanctuary.”
²⁰Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel did so to the Levites. According to all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the children of Israel did to them.
²¹The Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them for a wave offering before the LORD and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them.
²²After that, the Levites went in to do their service in the Tent of Meeting before Aaron and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
