New Century Version

Numbers 8:10-14 New Century Version (NCV)

10. When you bring the Levites before the Lord, the Israelites should put their hands on them.

11. Aaron will present the Levites before the Lord as an offering presented from the Israelites. Then the Levites will be ready to do the work of the Lord.

12. “The Levites will put their hands on the bulls’ heads—one bull will be a sin offering to the Lord, and the other will be a burnt offering, to remove the sins of the Levites so they will belong to the Lord.

13. Make the Levites stand in front of Aaron and his sons and present the Levites as an offering to the Lord.

14. In this way you must set apart the Levites from the other Israelites; the Levites will be mine.
