And Jehovah{H3068} spake{H1696} unto Moses,{H4872} saying,{H559}

Speak{H1696} unto Aaron,{H175} and say{H559} unto him, When thou lightest{H5927} the lamps,{H5216} the seven{H7651} lamps{H5216} shall give light{H215} in front{H6440} of the candlestick.{H4501}

And Aaron{H175} did{H6213} so; he lighted{H5927} the lamps{H5216} thereof [so as to give light] in front{H4136} of the candlestick,{H4501} as Jehovah{H3068} commanded{H6680} Moses.{H4872}

And this was the work{H4639} of the candlestick,{H4501} beaten{H4749} work of gold;{H2091} unto the base{H3409} thereof, [and] unto the flowers{H6525} thereof, it was beaten work:{H4749} according unto the pattern{H4758} which Jehovah{H3068} had showed{H7200} Moses,{H4872} so he made{H6213} the candlestick.{H4501}

And Jehovah{H3068} spake{H1696} unto Moses,{H4872} saying,{H559}

Take{H3947} the Levites{H3881} from among{H8432} the children{H1121} of Israel,{H3478} and cleanse{H2891} them.

And thus shalt thou do{H6213} unto them, to cleanse{H2891} them: sprinkle{H5137} the water{H4325} of expiation{H2403} upon them, and let them cause a razor{H8593} to pass over all their flesh,{H1320} and let them wash{H3526} their clothes,{H899} and cleanse{H2891} themselves.

Then let them take{H3947} a young{H1121} bullock,{H6499} and its meal-offering,{H4503} fine flour{H5560} mingled{H1101} with oil;{H8081} and another{H8145} young{H1121} bullock{H6499} shalt thou take{H3947} for a sin-offering.{H2403}

And thou shalt present{H7126} the Levites{H3881} before{H6440} the tent{H168} of meeting:{H4150} and thou shalt assemble{H6950} the whole{H6950} congregation{H4150} of the children{H1121} of Israel:{H3478}

and thou shalt present{H7126} the Levites{H3881} before{H6440} Jehovah.{H3068} And the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} shall lay{H5564} their hands{H3027} upon the Levites:{H3881}

and Aaron{H175} shall offer{H5130} the Levites{H3881} before{H6440} Jehovah{H3068} for a wave-offering,{H8573} on the behalf of the children{H1121} of Israel,{H3478} that it may be theirs to do{H5647} the service{H5656} of Jehovah.{H3068}

And the Levites{H3881} shall lay{H5564} their hands{H3027} upon the heads{H7218} of the bullocks:{H6499} and offer{H6213} thou the one{H259} for a sin-offering,{H2403} and the other{H259} for a burnt-offering,{H2403} unto Jehovah,{H3068} to make atonement{H3722} for the Levites.{H3881}

And thou shalt set{H5975} the Levites{H3881} before{H6440} Aaron,{H175} and before{H6440} his sons,{H1121} and offer{H5130} them for a wave-offering{H8573} unto Jehovah.{H3068}

Thus shalt thou separate{H914} the Levites{H3881} from among{H8432} the children{H1121} of Israel;{H3478} and the Levites{H3881} shall be mine.

And after{H310} that shall the Levites{H3881} go in{H935} to do the service{H5647} of the tent{H168} of meeting:{H4150} and thou shalt cleanse{H2891} them, and offer{H5130} them for a wave-offering.{H8573}

For they are wholly given{H5414} unto me from among{H8432} the children{H1121} of Israel;{H3478} instead of all that openeth{H6363} the womb,{H7358} even the first-born{H1060} of all the children{H1121} of Israel,{H3478} have I taken{H3947} them unto me.

For all the first-born{H1060} among the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} are mine, both man{H120} and beast:{H929} on the day{H3117} that I smote{H5221} all the first-born{H1060} in the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714} I sanctified{H6942} them for myself.

And I have taken{H3947} the Levites{H3881} instead of all the first-born{H1060} among the children{H1121} of Israel.{H3478}

And I have given{H5414} the Levites{H3881} as a gift{H5414} to Aaron{H175} and to his sons{H1121} from among{H8432} the children{H1121} of Israel,{H3478} to do{H5647} the service{H5656} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} in the tent{H168} of meeting,{H4150} and to make atonement{H3722} for the children{H1121} of Israel;{H3478} that there be no plague{H5063} among the children{H1121} of Israel,{H3478} when the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} come nigh{H5066} unto the sanctuary.{H6944}

Thus did{H6213} Moses,{H4872} and Aaron,{H175} and all the congregation{H5712} of the children{H1121} of Israel,{H3478} unto the Levites:{H3881} according unto all that Jehovah{H3068} commanded{H6680} Moses{H4872} touching the Levites,{H3881} so did{H6213} the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} unto them.

And the Levites{H3881} purified{H2398} themselves from sin, and they washed{H3526} their clothes:{H899} and Aaron{H175} offered{H5130} them for a wave-offering{H8573} before{H6440} Jehovah;{H3068} and Aaron{H175} made atonement{H3722} for them to cleanse{H2891} them.

And after{H310} that went{H935} the Levites{H3881} in to do{H5647} their service{H5656} in the tent{H168} of meeting{H4150} before{H6440} Aaron,{H175} and before{H6440} his sons:{H1121} as Jehovah{H3068} had commanded{H6680} Moses{H4872} concerning the Levites,{H3881} so did{H6213} they unto them.

And Jehovah{H3068} spake{H1696} unto Moses,{H4872} saying,{H559}

This is that which belongeth unto the Levites:{H3881} from twenty{H6242} and five{H2568} years{H8141} old{H1121} and upward{H4605} they shall go in{H935} to wait{H6633} upon the service{H5656} in the work of the tent{H168} of meeting:{H4150}

and from the age{H1121} of fifty{H2572} years{H8141} they shall cease{H7725} waiting{H6635} upon the work,{H5656} and shall serve{H5647} no more,

but shall minister{H8334} with their brethren{H251} in the tent{H168} of meeting,{H4150} to keep{H8104} the charge,{H4931} and shall do{H5647} no service.{H5656} Thus shalt thou do{H5647} unto the Levites{H3881} touching their charges.{H4931}
