Numbers 8:10-12

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁰ And when the Levites are before the Lord, the children of Israel shall put their hands upon them:

¹¹ And Aaron shall offer the Levites, as a gift in the sight of the Lord from the children of Israel, that they may serve in his ministry.

¹² The Levites also shall put their hands upon the heads of the oxen, of which thou shalt sacrifice one for sin, and the other for a holocaust to the Lord, to pray for them.
