1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2Speak to Aaron and say to him: When you set up the lamps, the seven lamps will give light before the lampstand.[#Ex 25:37]
3Aaron did so. He lit the lamps before the lampstand, as the Lord commanded Moses.
4And this was the work of the lampstand: hammered gold, to its shaft, to its flowers was beaten work. According to the pattern which the Lord had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.[#Ex 25:18; #Ex 25:9]
5The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
6Take the Levites from among the Israelites and cleanse them.
7Thus you will do to them to cleanse them: Splash purifying water on them, and let them shave their whole body, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.[#Lev 8:6; Nu 19:13]
8Then let them take a young bull with its grain offering, also fine flour mixed with oil, and you will take another young bull as a sin offering.[#Lev 2:1]
9You will bring the Levites before the tent of meeting. And you will gather the whole assembly of the Israelites together.[#Ex 40:12; #Lev 8:3]
10And you will bring the Levites before the Lord . And the Israelites will put their hands on the Levites.[#Lev 1:4; Ac 6:6]
11And Aaron will offer the Levites before the Lord as a wave offering of the Israelites, that they may do the service of the Lord .[#Lev 7:30]
12The Levites will lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, and you will offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to the Lord , to make an atonement for the Levites.[#Ex 29:10]
13You will set the Levites before Aaron and before his sons, and offer them as a wave offering to the Lord .[#Nu 8:11, 21]
14Thus will you separate the Levites from among the Israelites, and the Levites will be Mine.[#Nu 3:45]
15And afterwards the Levites will go in to do the service of the tent of meeting, and you will cleanse them and offer them as a wave offering.
16For they are completely set aside for Me by the Israelites. Instead of all who open the womb, instead of the firstborn of all the Israelites, I have taken them for Myself.[#Nu 3:12, 45]
17For all the firstborn of the Israelites are Mine, both man and animal. On the day that I struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for Myself.[#Ex 13:2; Lk 2:23]
18I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn of the Israelites.
19I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the Israelites, to serve the service of the Israelites in the tent of meeting and to make an atonement for the Israelites, so there will be no plague among the Israelites when the Israelites approach the sanctuary.[#Nu 1:53; 16:46]
20Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the Israelites did to the Levites; according to all that the Lord commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the Israelites did to them.
21The Levites cleansed themselves from sin, and they washed their clothes, and Aaron offered them as a wave offering before the Lord , and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.[#Nu 8:7; #Nu 8:11–13]
22And after that the Levites went in to do their service in the tent of meeting before Aaron and before his sons. As the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
23The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
24This is what belongs to the Levites: From twenty-five years old and older they will go in to do their duty concerning the service of the tent of meeting.[#Nu 4:3; 1Ch 23:3]
25And from the age of fifty years they will cease doing their duty concerning its service and will serve no more.
26But they will minister with their brothers in the tent of meeting, to attend to their needs, but will not do the work. Thus you will do to the Levites concerning their duties.[#Nu 1:53]
