04:008:002 Speak unto Aaron and say unto him, When
thou lightest the
lamps,
the seven lamps shall give light over against the
candlestick.
04:008:003 And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps
thereof over against
the
candlestick, as the lord commanded Moses.
04:008:004 And this work of the candlestick was of
beaten gold, unto the
shaft
thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work:
according
unto the pattern which the lord had shewed Moses,
so
he
made the candlestick.
04:008:005 And the lord spake unto Moses, saying,
04:008:006 Take the Levites from among the children
of Israel, and
cleanse
them.
04:008:007 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse
them: Sprinkle
water
of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their
flesh,
and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves
clean.
04:008:008 Then let them take a young bullock with
his meat offering,
even
fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock
shalt
thou take for a sin offering.
04:008:009 And thou shalt bring the Levites before
the tabernacle of the
congregation:
and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the
children
of Israel together:
04:008:010 And thou shalt bring the Levites before
the lord: and the
children
of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:
04:008:011 And Aaron shall offer the Levites before
the lord for an
offering
of the children of Israel, that they may execute the
service
of the lord.
04:008:012 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon
the heads of the
bullocks:
and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering, and
the
other for a burnt offering, unto the lord, to
make an
atonement
for the Levites.
04:008:013 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron,
and before his
sons,
and offer them for an offering unto the lord.
04:008:014 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from
among the children
of
Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
04:008:015 And after that shall the Levites go in
to do the service of
the
tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt
cleanse
them,
and offer them for an offering.
04:008:016 For they are wholly given unto me from
among the children of
Israel;
instead of such as open every womb, even instead of
the
firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken
them
unto
me.
04:008:017 For all the firstborn of the children of
Israel are mine, both
man
and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn
in the
land
of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.
