when it says קַ֚ח אֶת־הַֽלְוִיִּ֔ם, Moshe should take them by:

The reason the לוים had their hair remove with a razor (according to רבי משה הדרשן) is because:
לוים replaced the בכורים, who served עבודה זרה
The sacrifices of עבודה זרה is called sacrifices of the dead
a מצורע is referred to as dead
a מצורע needs to have his hair removed for his טהרה
one that serves עבודה זרה is compared to a מצורע
The עולה brought by the לוים, was: (tick all explanations brought in Rashi)
like a קרבן צבור brought when serving עבודה זרה
a unique קרבן for the inauguration of the לוים
similar to a קרבן brought by a מצורע for his טהרה
similar to a כהן becoming inaugurated when beginning to serve in the בית המקדש
The reason the פסוק writes וּפַר־שֵׁנִ֥י is to teach:
this חטאת ox was not eaten just like the קרבן עולה
this ox needed to brought second
the קרבן חטאת is always after the קרבן עולה
The חטאת ox was eaten by the כהנים unlike עולה, therefore came second
The בני ישראל were present at the inauguration of the לוים, leaning their hands on them, because:
the לוים served as an atonement sacrifice for the בני ישראל
one should be present when his sacrifice is being brought
The בני ישראל should realise it was Hashem who chose the לוים, so they should not complain at a later stage
The לוים needed support for the entire בני ישראל to fulfil their role
אהרן lifted up the לוים was:
similar to a קרבן אשם מצורע that needs lifting while alive
similar to the שתי הלחם
a gesture of giving them to Hashem
similar to lifting up a קרבן מנחה
