“Once you have made them clean and presented them as an offering, the Levites may come and do their work at the tent of meeting.
Put all of these in the hands of Aaron and his sons, who will offer them to the Lord.
“Out of all the Israelites, I have taken the Levites to be substitutes for every firstborn male offspring among them. The Levites are mine,
Aaron will present the Levites to the Lord as an offering from the Israelites. Then they will be ready to do the Lord’s work.
Make the Levites stand in front of Aaron and his sons, and present them as an offering to the Lord.
They will be the only Israelites given to me. I have taken them to be mine as substitutes for every firstborn male offspring of the Israelites.
