2
Speak unto Aaron and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the face of the lampstand.
3
And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the face of the lampstand, as the LORD commanded Moses.
4
And this work of the lampstand
was of beaten gold, from the shaft thereof unto the flowers thereof; it
was beaten work; according unto the pattern which the LORD had showed Moses, so he made the lampstand.
5
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
6
Take the Levites from among the sons of Israel, and cleanse them.
7
And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of
atonement for sin upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and be clean.
8
Then let them take a young bullock with his present,
even fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou offer as sin.
9
And thou shalt offer the Levites before the tabernacle of the testimony, and thou shalt gather the whole congregation of the sons of Israel together;
10
and thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD, and the sons of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites;
11
and Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD
for a wave offering of the sons of Israel, and they shall serve in the ministry of the LORD.
12
And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks; and thou shalt offer the one as
the sin, and the other as a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to reconcile the Levites.
