Numbers 8:10; Numbers 8:12; Numbers 27:18; Numbers 27:23 (King James Version)

10 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites: 12 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites. 18 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him; 23 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge , as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
