And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.

“Take the Levites from among the Israelites and make them ceremonially clean.

And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.

This is what you must do to cleanse them: Sprinkle them with the water of purification. Have them shave their whole bodies and wash their clothes, and so purify themselves.
