1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to Aaron, and say to him, When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick. 3 And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps over against the candlestick, as Jehovah commanded Moses. 4 And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold, to the shaft, to the flowers, was beaten work: according to the pattern which Jehovah had showed Moses, so he made the candlestick. 5 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 6 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and purify them. 7 And thus shall you do to them, to purify them: Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves pure. 8 Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering, even fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shall you take for a sin offering. 9 And you shall bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and you shall gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together: 10 And you shall bring the Levites before Jehovah: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites: 11 And Aaron shall offer the Levites before Jehovah for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of Jehovah. 12 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and you shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, to Jehovah, to cover the Levites' impurity. 13 And you shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering to Jehovah. 14 Thus shall you separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine. 15 And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and you shall purify them, and offer them for an offering. 16 For they are wholly given to me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them to me. 17 For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself. 18 And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel. 19 And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to cover the impurity of the children of Israel: that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come near to the sanctuary. 20 And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according to all that Jehovah commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel to them. 21 And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them as an offering before Jehovah; and Aaron covered their impurity to purify them. 22 And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as Jehovah had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they to them. 23 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 24 This is it that belongs to the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: 25 And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service, and shall serve no more: 26 But shall serve with their brothers in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the duty, and shall do no service. Thus shall you do to the Levites touching their duty.
