你們要宰逾越節的羊羔，潔淨自己，為你們的親族預備一切，遵守耶和華藉摩西吩咐的話。”

摩西從山上下來到人民那裡去，使人民分別為聖，他們就把自己的衣服洗淨了。他對人民說：“第三天，你們要預備好了；不可親近女人。”

於是祭司和利未人自潔，好把以色列的神耶和華的約櫃抬上來。

二月十四日，他們宰了逾越節的羊羔。祭司和利未人都覺得慚愧，就自潔，把燔祭帶到耶和華的殿裡。

以上這些人都是利未各家族的首領，按他們的家譜都是首領；這些人都住在耶路撒冷。

求你用真理使他們成聖；你的道就是真理。

眾祭司從聖所裡出來的時候（因為所有在場的祭司，不分班次地全都自潔），

大衛在大衛城為自己建造宮殿，又為神的約櫃預備地方，就是為它支搭帳幕。

他們在大衛王、撒督、亞希米勒，以及祭司和利未人的家族首領面前也抽了籤，好像他們的親族亞倫的子孫一樣；各家族首領和他們年幼的兄弟都一樣抽了籤。

他們唱著新歌，說：“你配取書卷，配拆開封印，因為你曾被殺，曾用你的血，從各支派、各方言、各民族、各邦國，把人買了來歸給神，使他們成為我們神的國度和祭司，他們要在地上執掌王權。”

他把祭司和利未人都召了來，聚集在東面的廣場上，對他們說：“利未人哪，你們要聽我的話；現在你們要自潔，又要潔淨耶和華你們列祖的神的殿，把污穢之物從聖所中除去。

所以弟兄們，我憑著神的仁慈勸你們，要把身體獻上，作聖潔而蒙神悅納的活祭；這是你們理所當然的事奉（“理所當然的事奉”或譯：“屬靈的敬拜”）。不要模仿這個世代，倒要藉著心意的更新而改變過來，使你們可以察驗出甚麼是神的旨意，就是察驗出甚麼是美好的、蒙他悅納的和完全的事。

於是，大衛把以色列人都招聚到耶路撒冷，要把耶和華的約櫃抬上來，到大衛給它預備好的地方去。

這地要歸給祭司，就是撒督子孫中分別為聖的。他們守我所吩咐的職責；以色列人走迷路的時候，他們不像利未人那樣走迷路。
