The Book of Numbers 8

8 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to Aaron and say to him, ‘When you lift up the lamps to the front of the face of the lampstand, the seven lamps shall give light.’ ” 3 And Aaron did so. To the front of the face of the lampstand he lifted up its lamps, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses. 4 And this is the work of the lampstand: a hammered gold work; it was a hammered work up to its base, 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 make them clean. 7 And thus you shall do to them to make them clean: Sprinkle on them the water of the sin offering. And they shall pass a razor over all their body, and they shall wash their garments, and they shall make themselves clean. 8 And they shall take a bull, a son of cattle, and its grain offering of fine flour mixed with the oil. And you shall take a second bull, a son of cattle, for a sin offering. 9 And you shall bring the Levites near before the face of the tent of meeting. And you shall assemble all the congregation of the sons of Israel. 10 And you shall bring the Levites near before the face of Yahweh, and the sons of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites. 11 And Aaron shall wave the Levites as a wave offering before the face of Yahweh from with the sons of Israel. And they shall be for serving the service of Yahweh. 12 And the Levites shall lay their hands on the head of the bulls and make the one as a sin offering and the one as a burnt offering to Yahweh, to make atonement for the Levites. 13 And you shall stand the Levites before the face of Aaron and before the face of his sons, and you shall wave them as a wave 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 afterwards the Levites shall enter to serve the tent of meeting. And you shall make them clean and you shall wave them as a wave 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 myself. 17 For every firstborn among the sons of Israel, among the human and among the livestock, belongs to me. On the day of my striking every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I set them apart for me. 18 And I have taken the Levites instead of every firstborn among the sons of Israel. 19 And I have given 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 there shall be no plague among the sons of Israel at the coming of the sons of Israel to the holy place.”

20 And Moses and Aaron and all the assembly of the sons of Israel did to the Levites according to all that Yahweh had commanded Moses for the Levites; so the sons of Israel did to them. 21 And the Levites purified themselves of sin, and they washed their garments, and Aaron waved them as a wave offering before the face of Yahweh, and Aaron made atonement for them to make them clean. 22 And afterward the Levites entered to serve their service in the tent of meeting before the face of Aaron and before the face of his sons. Just as Yahweh had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so he 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 above he shall enter to serve service in the work of the tent of meeting. 25 And from a son of 50 years he shall return from the service of the work, and he shall not work more. 26 And he shall serve his brothers in the tent of meeting to keep duty, but work he shall not work. Thus you shall do for the Levites in their duties.”
