1And the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 2SpeakH1696 to AaronH175, and sayH559 to him, When thou lightestH5927 the lampsH5216, the sevenH7651 lampsH5216 shall give lightH215 oppositeH6440H4136 the lampstandH4501. 3And AaronH175 didH6213 so; he lightedH5927 its lampsH5216 oppositeH4136H6440 the lampstandH4501, as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872. 4And this workH4639 of the lampstandH4501 was of beatenH4749 goldH2091, to its shaftH3409, to the flowersH6525 of it, was beaten workH4749: according to the patternH4758 which the LORDH3068 had showedH7200 MosesH4872, so he madeH6213 the lampstandH4501.

5And the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 6TakeH3947 the LevitesH3881 from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and cleanseH2891 them. 7And thus shalt thou doH6213 to them, to cleanseH2891 them: SprinkleH5137 waterH4325 of purifyingH2403 upon them, and let them shaveH8593H5674 all their fleshH1320, and let them washH3526 their clothesH899, and so make themselves cleanH2891.1 8Then let them takeH3947 a youngH1121H1241 bullH6499 with its meat offeringH4503, even fine flourH5560 mixedH1101 with oilH8081, and anotherH8145 youngH1121H1241 bullH6499 shalt thou takeH3947 for a sin offeringH2403. 9And thou shalt bringH7126 the LevitesH3881 beforeH6440 the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150: and thou shalt gatherH6950 the whole assemblyH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 togetherH6950: 10And thou shalt bringH7126 the LevitesH3881 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall putH5564 their handsH3027 upon the LevitesH3881: 11And AaronH175 shall offerH5130 the LevitesH3881 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 for an offeringH8573 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they may executeH5647 the serviceH5656 of the LORDH3068.234 12And the LevitesH3881 shall layH5564 their handsH3027 upon the headsH7218 of the bullsH6499: and thou shalt offerH6213 the oneH259 for a sin offeringH2403, and the otherH259 for a burnt offeringH5930, to the LORDH3068, to make an atonementH3722 for the LevitesH3881. 13And thou shalt setH5975 the LevitesH3881 beforeH6440 AaronH175, and beforeH6440 his sonsH1121, and offerH5130 them for an offeringH8573 to the LORDH3068. 14Thus shalt thou separateH914 the LevitesH3881 from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and the LevitesH3881 shall be mine. 15And afterH310 that shall the LevitesH3881 go inH935 to perform the serviceH5647 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150: and thou shalt cleanseH2891 them, and offerH5130 them for an offeringH8573. 16For they are wholly givenH5414 to me from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; instead of such as openH6363 every wombH7358, even instead of the firstbornH1060 of all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, have I takenH3947 them to me. 17For all the firstbornH1060 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 are mine, both manH120 and beastH929: on the dayH3117 that I smoteH5221 every firstbornH1060 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 I sanctifiedH6942 them for myself. 18And I have takenH3947 the LevitesH3881 for all the firstbornH1060 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. 19And I have givenH5414 the LevitesH3881 as a giftH5414 to AaronH175 and to his sonsH1121 from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, to doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and to make an atonementH3722 for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: that there may be no plagueH5063 among the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 come nearH5066 to the sanctuaryH6944.5 20And MosesH4872, and AaronH175, and all the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, didH6213 to the LevitesH3881 according to all that the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872 concerning the LevitesH3881, so didH6213 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 to them. 21And the LevitesH3881 were purifiedH2398, and they washedH3526 their clothesH899; and AaronH175 offeredH5130 them as an offeringH8573 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068; and AaronH175 made an atonementH3722 for them to cleanseH2891 them. 22And afterH310 that wentH935 the LevitesH3881 in to performH5647 their serviceH5656 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150 beforeH6440 AaronH175, and beforeH6440 his sonsH1121: as the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872 concerning the LevitesH3881, so didH6213 they to them. 23And the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 24This is it that which pertaineth to the LevitesH3881: from twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605 they shall go inH935 to waitH6633H6635 upon the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150:6 25And from the ageH1121 of fiftyH2572 yearsH8141 they shall ceaseH7725 waitingH6635 upon the serviceH5656 of it, and shall serveH5647 no more:7 26But shall ministerH8334 with their brethrenH251 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, to keepH8104 the chargeH4931, and shall doH5647 no serviceH5656. Thus shalt thou doH6213 to the LevitesH3881 concerning their chargeH4931.
