1 # And the LORD <03068> spake <01696> (8762) unto Moses <04872>, saying <0559> (8800),
2 Speak <01696> (8761) unto Aaron <0175>, and say <0559> (8804) unto him, When thou lightest <05927> (8687) the lamps <05216>, the seven <07651> lamps <05216> shall give light <0215> (8686) over against <06440> <04136> the candlestick <04501>.
3 And Aaron <0175> did <06213> (8799) so; he lighted <05927> (8689) the lamps <05216> thereof over against <04136> <06440> the candlestick <04501>, as the LORD <03068> commanded <06680> (8765) Moses <04872>.
4 And this work <04639> of the candlestick <04501> was of beaten <04749> gold <02091>, unto the shaft <03409> thereof, unto the flowers <06525> thereof, was beaten work <04749>: according unto the pattern <04758> which the LORD <03068> had shewed <07200> (8689) Moses <04872>, so he made <06213> (8804) the candlestick <04501>.
5 # And the LORD <03068> spake <01696> (8762) unto Moses <04872>, saying <0559> (8800),
6 Take <03947> (8798) the Levites <03881> from among <08432> the children <01121> of Israel <03478> , and cleanse <02891> (8765) them.
7 And thus shalt thou do <06213> (8799) unto them, to cleanse <02891> (8763) them: Sprinkle <05137> (8685) water <04325> of purifying <02403> upon them, and let them shave <08593> <05674> (8689) all their flesh <01320>, and let them wash <03526> (8765) their clothes <0899>, and so make themselves clean <02891> (8694).
8 Then let them take <03947> (8804) a young <01121> <01241> bullock <06499> with his meat offering <04503> , even fine flour <05560> mingled <01101> (8803) with oil <08081>, and another <08145> young <01121> <01241> bullock <06499> shalt thou take <03947> (8799) for a sin offering <02403>.
9 And thou shalt bring <07126> (8689) the Levites <03881> before <06440> the tabernacle <0168> of the congregation <04150>: and thou shalt gather <06950> <00> the whole assembly <05712> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> together <06950> (8689):
10 And thou shalt bring <07126> (8689) the Levites <03881> before <06440> the LORD <03068>: and the children <01121> of Israel <03478> shall put <05564> (8804) their hands <03027> upon the Levites <03881>:
11 And Aaron <0175> shall offer <05130> (8689) the Levites <03881> before <06440> the LORD <03068> for an offering <08573> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, that they may execute <05647> (8800) the service <05656> of the LORD <03068>.
12 And the Levites <03881> shall lay <05564> (8799) their hands <03027> upon the heads <07218> of the bullocks <06499>: and thou shalt offer <06213> (8798) the one <0259> for a sin offering <02403>, and the other <0259> for a burnt offering <05930>, unto the LORD <03068>, to make an atonement <03722> (8763) for the Levites <03881>.
13 And thou shalt set <05975> (8689) the Levites <03881> before <06440> Aaron <0175>, and before <06440> his sons <01121>, and offer <05130> (8689) them for an offering <08573> unto the LORD <03068>.
14 Thus shalt thou separate <0914> (8689) the Levites <03881> from among <08432> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>: and the Levites <03881> shall be mine.
15 And after <0310> that shall the Levites <03881> go in <0935> (8799) to do the service <05647> (8800) of the tabernacle <0168> of the congregation <04150>: and thou shalt cleanse <02891> (8765) them, and offer <05130> (8689) them for an offering <08573>.
16 For they are wholly given <05414> (8803) unto me from among <08432> the children <01121> of Israel <03478> ; instead of such as open <06363> every womb <07358>, even instead of the firstborn <01060> of all the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, have I taken <03947> (8804) them unto me.
17 For all the firstborn <01060> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> are mine, both man <0120> and beast <0929>: on the day <03117> that I smote <05221> (8687) every firstborn <01060> in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> I sanctified <06942> (8689) them for myself.
18 And I have taken <03947> (8799) the Levites <03881> for all the firstborn <01060> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.
19 And I have given <05414> (8799) the Levites <03881> as a gift <05414> (8803) to Aaron <0175> and to his sons <01121> from among <08432> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, to do <05647> (8800) the service <05656> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> in the tabernacle <0168> of the congregation <04150>, and to make an atonement <03722> (8763) for the children <01121> of Israel <03478>: that there be no plague <05063> among the children <01121> of Israel <03478> , when the children <01121> of Israel <03478> come nigh <05066> (8800) unto the sanctuary <06944>.
20 And Moses <04872>, and Aaron <0175>, and all the congregation <05712> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> , did <06213> (8799) to the Levites <03881> according unto all that the LORD <03068> commanded <06680> (8765) Moses <04872> concerning the Levites <03881>, so did <06213> (8804) the children <01121> of Israel <03478> unto them.
21 And the Levites <03881> were purified <02398> (8691), and they washed <03526> (8762) their clothes <0899> ; and Aaron <0175> offered <05130> (8686) them as an offering <08573> before <06440> the LORD <03068>; and Aaron <0175> made an atonement <03722> (8762) for them to cleanse <02891> (8763) them.
22 And after <0310> that went <0935> (8804) the Levites <03881> in to do <05647> (8800) their service <05656> in the tabernacle <0168> of the congregation <04150> before <06440> Aaron <0175>, and before <06440> his sons <01121>: as the LORD <03068> had commanded <06680> (8765) Moses <04872> concerning the Levites <03881>, so did <06213> (8804) they unto them.
23 And the LORD <03068> spake <01696> (8762) unto Moses <04872>, saying <0559> (8800),
24 This is it that belongeth unto the Levites <03881>: from twenty <06242> and five <02568> years <08141> old <01121> and upward <04605> they shall go in <0935> (8799) to wait <06633> (8800) <06635> upon the service <05656> of the tabernacle <0168> of the congregation <04150>:
25 And from the age <01121> of fifty <02572> years <08141> they shall cease <07725> (8799) waiting <06635> upon the service <05656> thereof, and shall serve <05647> (8799) no more:
26 But shall minister <08334> (8765) with their brethren <0251> in the tabernacle <0168> of the congregation <04150> , to keep <08104> (8800) the charge <04931>, and shall do <05647> (8799) no service <05656>. Thus shalt thou do <06213> (8799) unto the Levites <03881> touching their charge <04931>.
