Numbers 16:6

Context
16:6 Do this, Korah, you and all your company: 2  Take censers,

1 tn The verb טָהַר (tahar) means that Moses was “to purify” or “to make ceremonially clean” the Levites so that they could enter the sanctuary and do the work prescribed for them. Whatever is “unclean” is not permitted in the sanctuary at all.
