8 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to Aaron and say to him, ‘When you lift up the lamps, the seven lamps shall shine to the front of the face of the lampstand.’ ” 3 And Aaron did so. To the front of the face of the lampstand he lifted up its lamps, just as Yahweh commanded Moses. 4 And this is the work of the lampstand: a hammered work of gold; it was a hammered work up to its side, up to its blossom. According to the appearance that Yahweh showed Moses, so he made the lampstand. 5 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 6 “Take the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel and cleanse them. 7 And thus you shall do to them to cleanse them: Sprinkle on them the water of the sin offering. And they shall pass a razor over all their flesh, and they shall wash their clothes, and they shall cleanse themselves. 8 And they shall take a bull, a son of cattle, and its grain offering of flour mixed with the oil. And you shall take a second bull, a son of cattle, for a sin offering. 9 And you shall present the Levites to the face of the tent of meeting. And you shall assemble all the congregation of the sons of Israel. 10 And you shall present the Levites to the face of Yahweh, and the sons of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites. 11 And Aaron shall raise the Levites as a raised offering to the face of Yahweh from with the sons of Israel. And they shall be to serve the service of Yahweh. 12 And the Levites shall lay their hands on the head of the bulls, and make the one a sin offering and the one a burnt offering to Yahweh, to make atonement for the Levites. 13 And you shall stand the Levites to the face of Aaron and to the face of his sons, and you shall raise them as a raised offering to Yahweh. 14 And you shall separate the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and the Levites shall be for me. 15 And after that the Levites shall go to serve the tent of meeting, and you shall cleanse them and you shall raise them as a raised offering. 16 For they are given, given to me from the midst of the sons of Israel. Instead of the opener of every womb, the firstborn of all from the sons of Israel, I have taken them for me. 17 For to me is every firstborn among the sons of Israel, among the man and among the animal. On the day of my striking down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I consecrated them to me. 18 And I took the Levites instead of every firstborn among the sons of Israel. 19 And I gave the Levites as given ones to Aaron and to his sons from the midst of the sons of Israel, to serve the service of the sons of Israel in the tent of meeting and to make atonement for the sons of Israel. And a plague will not be among the sons of Israel when the sons of Israel come near to the holy place.” 20 And Moses, and Aaron and all the congregation of the sons of Israel, did to the Levites according to all that Yahweh had commanded Moses for the Levites; thus the sons of Israel did to them. 21 And the Levites purified themselves, and they washed their clothes, and Aaron raised them as a raised offering to the face of Yahweh, and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them. 22 And after that, the Levites went to serve their service in the tent of meeting to the face of Aaron and to the face of his sons. Just as Yahweh had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them. 23 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “This is what is for the Levites: From a son of 25 years and upward he shall come to fight in the army in the service of the tent of meeting. 25 And from a son of 50 years he shall return from the army of the service, and he shall not serve more. 26 And he shall minister to his brothers in the tent of meeting to keep keeping, but he shall not serve service. Thus you shall do for the Levites in their keepings.”
