Bring near the tribe of Levi, and thou shalt cause it to stand before Aaron the priest, - so shall they wait upon him;

Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.

Neither for his father nor for his mother nor for his brother nor for his sister, shall he make himself unclean-not even for them, should they die, - because, his separation unto God, is upon his head,

But if one that is dying should die by him in a moment suddenly, then shall he count unclean his head of separation, - and shall shave his head, on the day he cleanseth himself, on the seventh day, shall he shave it.

Take it of them, that they may be to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service.
