Cleansing the Levites

⁵ Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ⁶ “Take the Levites from among the sons of Israel and ^(A)cleanse them. ⁷ This is what you shall do to them, for their cleansing: sprinkle ^[a]purifying ^(B)water on them, and have them ^[b](C)use a razor over their whole ^[c]body, and they shall ^(D)wash their clothes and cleanse themselves.
