2 Speak1696 unto413 Aaron,175 and say559 unto413 him, When thou lightest5927 853 the lamps,5216 the seven7651 lamps5216 shall give light215 over against413 4136 6440 the candlestick.4501

3 And Aaron175 did6213 so;3651 he lighted5927 the lamps5216 thereof over against413 4136 6440 the candlestick,4501 as834 the LORD3068 commanded6680 853 Moses.4872

4 And this2088 work4639 of the candlestick4501 was of beaten4749 gold,2091 unto5704 the shaft3409 thereof, unto5704 the flowers6525 thereof, was beaten work:4749 according unto the pattern4758 which834 the LORD3068 had showed7200 853 Moses,4872 so3651 he made6213 853 the candlestick.4501

5 And the LORD3068 spoke1696 unto413 Moses,4872 saying,559

6 Take3947 853 the Levites3881 from among4480 8432 the children1121 of Israel,3478 and cleanse2891 them.

7 And thus3541 shalt thou do6213 unto them, to cleanse2891 them: Sprinkle5137 water4325 of purifying2403 upon5921 them, and let them shave5674 8593 5921 all3605 their flesh,1320 and let them wash3526 their clothes,899 and so make themselves clean.2891

8 Then let them take3947 a young1121 1241 bullock6499 with his meat offering,4503 even fine flour5560 mingled1101 with oil,8081 and another8145 young1121 1241 bullock6499 shalt thou take3947 for a sin offering.2403

9 And thou shalt bring7126 853 the Levites3881 before6440 the tabernacle168 of the congregation:4150 and thou shalt gather6950 853 the whole3605 assembly5712 of the children1121 of Israel3478 together:

10 And thou shalt bring7126 853 the Levites3881 before6440 the LORD:3068 and the children1121 of Israel3478 shall put5564 853 their hands3027 upon5921 the Levites: 3881

11 And Aaron175 shall offer5130 853 the Levites3881 before6440 the LORD3068 for an offering8573 of4480 854 the children1121 of Israel,3478 that they may execute1961 5647 853 the service5656 of the LORD.3068

12 And the Levites3881 shall lay5564 853 their hands3027 upon5921 the heads7218 of the bullocks:6499 and thou shalt offer6213 853 the one259 for a sin offering,2403 and the other259 for a burnt offering,5930 unto the LORD,3068 to make an atonement3722 for5921 the Levites.3881

13 And thou shalt set5975 853 the Levites3881 before6440 Aaron,175 and before6440 his sons,1121 and offer5130 them for an offering8573 unto the LORD.3068

14 Thus shalt thou separate914 853 the Levites3881 from among4480 8432 the children1121 of Israel:3478 and the Levites3881 shall be1961 mine.

15 And after310 that3651 shall the Levites3881 go in935 to do the service5647 853 of the tabernacle168 of the congregation:4150 and thou shalt cleanse2891 them, and offer5130 them for an offering.8573

16 For3588 they1992 are wholly given5414 5414 unto me from among4480 8432 the children1121 of Israel;3478 instead of8478 such as open6363 every3605 womb,7358 even instead of the firstborn1060 of all3605 the children4480 1121 of Israel,3478 have I taken3947 them unto me.

17 For3588 all3605 the firstborn1060 of the children1121 of Israel3478 are mine, both man120 and beast:929 on the day3117 that I smote5221 every3605 firstborn1060 in the land776 of Egypt4714 I sanctified6942 them for myself.

18 And I have taken3947 853 the Levites3881 for8478 all3605 the firstborn1060 of the children1121 of Israel.3478

19 And I have given5414 853 the Levites3881 as a gift5414 to Aaron175 and to his sons1121 from among4480 8432 the children1121 of Israel,3478 to do5647 853 the service5656 of the children1121 of Israel3478 in the tabernacle168 of the congregation,4150 and to make an atonement3722 for5921 the children1121 of Israel:3478 that there be1961 no3808 plague5063 among the children1121 of Israel,3478 when the children1121 of Israel3478 come nigh5066 unto413 the sanctuary.6944

20 And Moses,4872 and Aaron,175 and all3605 the congregation5712 of the children1121 of Israel,3478 did6213 to the Levites3881 according unto all3605 that834 the LORD3068 commanded6680 853 Moses4872 concerning the Levites,3881 so3651 did6213 the children1121 of Israel3478 unto them.

21 And the Levites3881 were purified,2398 and they washed3526 their clothes;899 and Aaron175 offered5130 them as an offering8573 before6440 the LORD;3068 and Aaron175 made an atonement3722 for5921 them to cleanse2891 them.

22 And after310 that3651 went the Levites in935 3881 to do5647 853 their service5656 in the tabernacle168 of the congregation4150 before6440 Aaron,175 and before6440 his sons:1121 as834 the LORD3068 had commanded6680 853 Moses4872 concerning5921 the Levites,3881 so3651 did6213 they unto them.

23 And the LORD3068 spoke1696 unto413 Moses,4872 saying,559

24 This2063 is it that834 belongeth unto the Levites:3881 from twenty6242 and five2568 years8141 old4480 1121 and upward4605 they shall go in935 to wait upon6633 6635 the service5656 of the tabernacle168 of the congregation: 4150

25 And from the age4480 1121 of fifty2572 years8141 they shall cease waiting upon7725 4480 6635 the service5656 thereof, and shall serve5647 no3808 more: 5750

26 But shall minister8334 with854 their brethren251 in the tabernacle168 of the congregation,4150 to keep8104 the charge,4931 and shall do5647 no3808 service.5656 Thus3602 shalt thou do6213 unto the Levites3881 touching their charge.4931

Chapter 8

1 THE LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Speak to Aaron and say to him, When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the candlestick.

3 And Aaron did so; he lighted the seven lamps thereof in front of the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.

4 And the work of the candlestick was of molten gold; from its base to its flower was of cast work; according to the pattern which the LORD had shown to Moses, so he made the candlestick.

5 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

6 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.

7 And thus you shall do to them to cleanse them: Sprinkle purifying water upon them, and let them shave all the body, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.

8 Then let them take a young bullock with its meal offering, a dish full of fine flour mixed with oil, and another young bullock shall you offer 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 Then you shall bring the Levites before the LORD; and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites;

11 And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering from the children of Israel, that they may perform the service of the LORD.

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 the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites.

13 And you shall make the Levites stand before Aaron and before his sons, and offer them for an offering to the LORD.

14 Thus shall you separate the Levites from among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine.

15 And after that the Levites shall go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and you shall cleanse them, and offer them for an offering before the LORD.

16 For they are wholly given to me as a gift from among the children of Israel; instead of all that open the womb, even instead of the first-born of all the children of Israel, have I taken them to me.

17 For all the first-born of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast; on the day that I smote every first-born in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.

18 And I have taken the Levites for all the first-born 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 make an atonement for the children of Israel, that there be no plague among the children of Israel when they 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 the LORD had 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 the LORD; and Aaron made an atonement for them and cleansed them.

22 And after that the Levites went in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron and before his sons; as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did unto them the children of Israel.

23 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

24 This shall be the law for the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward they shall go in to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation;

25 And from the age of fifty years they shall cease from the service and shall serve no more,

26 But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation to keep guard, and shall do no service. Thus shall you do to the Levites concerning their charge.
