Nombres 8:5 In-Context

3 Et Aaron fit ainsi, il alluma les lampes sur le devant du chandelier, comme l'Éternel l'avait commandé à Moïse.
4 Or, voici comment était fait le chandelier: il était d'or, fait au marteau; jusqu'à son pied, jusqu'à ses fleurs, il était fait au marteau. On fit ainsi le chandelier selon le modèle que l'Éternel avait fait voir à Moïse.
5 Puis l'Éternel parla à Moïse, en disant:
6 Prends les Lévites d'entre les enfants d'Israël, et purifie-les.
7 Tu leur feras ainsi pour les purifier: Fais sur eux aspersion de l'eau de purification pour le péché; ils feront passer le rasoir sur toute leur chair, laveront leurs vêtements, et se purifieront.
