And the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 to Moses,H4872 saying,H559
2
SpeakH1696 to Aaron H175and sayH559 to him, When you lightH5927 the lamps,H5216 the sevenH7651 lampsH5216 shall give lightH216 overH5922 H6440 againstH4136 H6440 the candlestick.H4501
3
And AaronH175 didH6213 so;H3651 he lightedH5927 the lampsH5216 thereof overH5922 H6440 againstH4136 H6440 the candlestick,H4501 as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 Moses.H4872
4
And thisH2088 workH4639 of the candlestickH4501 was of beatenH4749 gold,H2091 to the shaftH3409 thereof, to the flowersH6525 thereof, was beatenH4749 work: according to the patternH4758 which the LORDH3068 had showedH7200 Moses,H4872 soH3651 he madeH6213 the candlestick.H4501
5
And the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 to Moses,H4872 saying,H559
6
TakeH3947 the LevitesH3881 from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 and cleanseH2891 them.
7
And thusH3541 shall you doH6213 to them, to cleanseH2891 them: SprinkleH5137 waterH4325 of purifyingH2403 on them, and let them shaveH5674 H8593 allH3605 their flesh,H1320 and let them washH3526 their clothes,H899 and so make themselvesH1992 clean.H2891
8
Then let them takeH3947 a youngH1121 H1241 bullockH6499 with his meat offering,H4503 even fine flourH5560 mingledH1101 with oil,H8081 and anotherH8145 youngH1121 H1241 bullockH6499 shall you takeH3947 for a sinH2403 offering.
9
And you shall bringH7126 the LevitesH3881 beforeH6440 the tabernacleH168 of the congregation:H4150 and you shall gatherH6950 the wholeH854 H3605 assemblyH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 together:
10
And you shall bringH7126 the LevitesH3881 beforeH6440 the LORD:H3068 and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall putH5564 their handsH3027 on the Levites:H3881
11
And AaronH175 shall offerH5130 the LevitesH3881 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 for an offeringH8573 of the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 that they may executeH5647 the serviceH5656 of the LORD.H3068
12
And the LevitesH3881 shall layH5564 their handsH3027 on the headsH7218 of the bullocks:H6499 and you shall offerH6213 the oneH259 for a sinH2403 offering, and the otherH259 for a burntH5930 offering, to the LORD,H3068 to make an atonementH3722 for the Levites.H3881
13
And you shall setH5975 the LevitesH3881 beforeH6440 Aaron,H175 and beforeH6440 his sons,H1121 and offerH5130 them for an offeringH8573 to the LORD.H3068
14
Thus shall you separateH914 the LevitesH3881 from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of Israel:H3478 and the LevitesH3881 shall be mine.
15
And afterH310 that shall the LevitesH3881 goH935 in to doH5647 the serviceH5647 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregation:H4150 and you shall cleanseH2891 them, and offerH5130 them for an offering.H8573
16
For they are wholly givenH5414 to me from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of Israel;H3478 insteadH8478 of such as openH6363 everyH3605 womb,H7358 even instead of the firstbornH1060 of allH3605 the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 have I takenH3947 them to me.
17
For allH3605 the firstbornH1060 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 are mine, both manH120 and beast:H929 on the dayH3117 that I smoteH5221 everyH3605 firstbornH1060 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 I sanctifiedH6942 them for myself.
18
And I have takenH3947 the LevitesH3881 for allH3605 the firstbornH1060 of the childrenH1121 of Israel.H3478
19
And I have givenH5414 the LevitesH3881 as a gift to AaronH175 and to his sonsH1121 from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 to doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregation,H4150 and to make an atonementH3722 for the childrenH1121 of Israel:H3478 that there be noH3808 plagueH5063 among the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 comeH5066 nearH5066 to the sanctuary.H6944
20
And Moses,H4872 and Aaron,H175 and allH3605 the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 didH6213 to the LevitesH3881 according to allH3605 that the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872 concerning the Levites,H3881 soH3651 didH6213 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 to them.
21
And the LevitesH3881 were purified,H2398 and they washedH3526 their clothes;H899 and AaronH175 offeredH5130 them as an offeringH8573 beforeH6440 the LORD;H3068 and AaronH175 made an atonementH3722 for them to cleanseH2891 them.
22
And afterH310 that wentH935 the LevitesH3881 in to doH5647 their serviceH5656 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150 beforeH6440 Aaron,H175 and beforeH6440 his sons:H1121 as the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872 concerningH5921 the Levites,H3881 soH3651 didH6213 they to them.
23
And the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 to Moses,H4872 saying,H559
24
ThisH2063 is it that belongs to the Levites:H3881 from twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605 they shall goH935 in to waitH6633 on the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregation:H4150
25
And from the ageH1121 of fiftyH2572 yearsH8141 they shall ceaseH7725 waitingH6635 on the serviceH5656 thereof, and shall serveH5647 noH3808 more:H5750
26
But shall ministerH8334 with their brothersH251 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregation,H4150 to keepH8104 the charge,H4931 and shall doH5647 noH3808 service.H5656 ThusH3602 shall you doH6213 to the LevitesH3881 touching their charge.H4931
