Numbers 8:21
"And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them as an offering before the LORD; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And the Levites were purified,.... From sin, by the sprinkling of the sin water, or water of purification on them, Num 8:7 , and they washed their clothes; that they

might have no defilement about them, neither in their bodies, nor in their garments: and Aaron offered them as an offering before the Lord; a wave offering, as in Num 8:11 , and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them; by offering the sacrifices for them, Num 8:12 .
