Bamidbar 8:5-7

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁵ And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

⁶ Take the Levi’im from among the Bnei Yisroel, and make them tahor.

⁷ And thus shalt thou do unto them, to make them tahor: Sprinkle water of purification upon them, and let them cause a razor to pass over their basar, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves tahor.
