THE MESSAGE
God spoke to Moses: "These are your instructions regarding the Levites: At the age of twenty-five they will join the workforce in the Tent of Meeting; at the age of fifty they must retire from the work. They can assist their brothers in the tasks in the Tent of Meeting, but they are not permitted to do the actual work themselves. These are the ground rules for the work of the Levites."

Contextual Overview

⁵ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: ⁶ Take the Levites out of the midst of the children of Israel, and thou shalt purify them, ⁷ According to this rite: Let them be sprinkled with the water of purification, and let them shave all the hairs of their flesh. And when they shall have washed their garments, and are cleansed, ⁸ They shall take an ox of the herd, and for the offering thereof fine flour tempered with oil: and thou shalt take another ox of the herd for a sin offering: ⁹ And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the covenant, calling together all the multitude of the children of Israel: 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. ¹³ And thou shalt set the Levites in the sight of Aaron and of his, and shalt consecrate them being offered to the Lord, ¹⁴ And shalt separate them from the midst of the children of Israel, to be mine.
