Berean Standard Bible
And
the LORD spake
unto
Moses, saying,
Then
the LORD said
to
Moses,
Speak unto
Aaron and say
unto
him ,
When thou
lightest
the
lamps,
the seven lamps shall
give
light over
against
the candlestick
.
“
Speak to
Aaron and tell
him :
‘
When you
set
up
the seven lamps ,
they
are
to
light the area
in
front
of
the
lampstand
. ’”
And Aaron did so; he lighted
the lamps thereof
over
against
the candlestick
, as the LORD commanded Moses.
And Aaron did so; he set
up
the lamps facing
toward
the front
of
the
lampstand
, just
as the LORD had
commanded Moses.
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 showed
Moses ,
so
he
made
the
candlestick
.
This is
how
the lampstand
was constructed:
it
was
made
of hammered
gold from
its
base
to
its
blossoms
, fashioned
according to
the pattern the LORD had shown
Moses.
And
the LORD spake
unto
Moses, saying,
Again
the LORD spoke
to
Moses, saying,
Take the Levites from among the children
of
Israel,
and cleanse
them.
“
Take the Levites from among the Israelites
and make
them ceremonially
clean
.
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
.
This
is
what
you
must
do to cleanse them: Sprinkle them
with
the
water of purification.
Have
them shave their whole
bodies
and wash their clothes, and so purify
themselves.
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.
Then have
them take a young bull
with its
grain
offering of
fine flour mixed
with oil, and you
are
to
take a
second
young
bull
for a sin offering.
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:
Bring the Levites before the Tent
of Meeting
and assemble
the whole congregation
of Israel .
And
thou
shalt
bring
the Levites before the LORD :
and the children
of
Israel
shall
put
their hands upon the
Levites:
You
are
to
present
the Levites before the LORD and have
the Israelites
lay
their hands upon them.
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.
Aaron is
to
present
the Levites before the LORD as
a
wave
offering from
the sons
of Israel, so
that they may perform
the service of the LORD.
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.
And the Levites are
to
lay their hands on
the heads of the bulls,
and offer to
the LORD
one as
a sin offering and the other as
a burnt offering, to make atonement for the Levites.
And
thou
shalt
set
the Levites before Aaron ,
and before
his sons ,
and offer
them for
an
offering
unto
the LORD.
You
are
to
have
the Levites stand
before Aaron and his sons and then
present
them before
the LORD as
a
wave
offering
.
Thus
shalt
thou
separate the Levites from among
the children
of Israel:
and the Levites shall
be
mine
.
In
this
way
you
shall
separate the Levites from the rest
of the
Israelites,
and the Levites will
belong
to
Me
.
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.
After you
have
cleansed
them and presented
them as
a
wave
offering ,
they
may
come
to
serve
at
the
Tent
of
Meeting
.
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
.
For the
Levites
have
been
wholly given to
Me from among the sons
of Israel .
I
have
taken
them
for
Myself
in
place
of all
who
come
first
from
the
womb, the firstborn of all the sons
of Israel.
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
.
For every
firstborn male
in
Israel is
Mine, both man and beast .
I
set
them
apart
for
Myself
on the day I struck
down
all
the
firstborn in the land of Egypt.
And
I have taken the Levites for
all the firstborn of
the children
of Israel.
But
I have taken the Levites in
place
of
all the firstborn among
the sons
of Israel.
And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to
his sons from among the children
of
Israel
, to do
the service of
the children
of
Israel
in
the tabernacle
of the
congregation,
and to make an
atonement for
the
children
of
Israel:
that there
be
no plague among
the children
of
Israel,
when the
children
of
Israel
come
nigh
unto
the sanctuary.
And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons from among the Israelites
, to perform
the service for
the Israelites
at
the Tent
of Meeting
and to make atonement on
their
behalf,
so
that no plague will
come
against
the Israelites
when they
approach
the sanctuary. ”
And
Moses, and
Aaron, and all
the congregation of the
children
of
Israel ,
did to
the Levites according
unto
all
that the LORD commanded Moses concerning
the
Levites,
so
did
the
children
of
Israel
unto
them
.
So
Moses, Aaron, and the whole
congregation of Israel did with
the Levites everything
that the LORD had
commanded Moses they
should
do
.
And
the Levites were
purified ,
and they
washed their clothes ;
and Aaron offered
them as an
offering before the LORD ;
and
Aaron made an
atonement for them to cleanse them.
The Levites purified themselves
and washed their clothes ,
and Aaron presented
them as a
wave
offering before the LORD .
Aaron also
made atonement for them to cleanse them.
And
after that went
the Levites in
to do
their service in
the tabernacle
of the congregation
before
Aaron ,
and before
his sons :
as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning
the
Levites,
so
did
they
unto
them
.
After that ,
the Levites came
to perform
their service at
the Tent
of Meeting
in
the presence
of
Aaron and his sons .
Thus
they
did
with
the
Levites
just
as the LORD had commanded Moses.
And the LORD spake
unto
Moses, saying,
And the LORD said
to
Moses,
This is
it
that
belongeth
unto
the Levites: from
twenty and
five years old
and
upward
they
shall go
in
to wait
upon
the service of
the tabernacle
of
the congregation:
“
This applies
to
the Levites: Men
twenty -
five years of
age
or
older
shall enter
to perform
the service in
the work
at
the Tent
of
Meeting.
And
from
the age of fifty years
they shall
cease
waiting
upon
the service
thereof,
and shall
serve
no more:
But
at
the age of fifty ,
they must
retire
from
performing
the work
and no longer
serve.
But
shall
minister
with
their brethren
in the tabernacle
of the
congregation
, to keep
the
charge,
and
shall
do no
service
. Thus
shalt
thou
do
unto
the Levites touching
their
charge
.
After
that,
they
may
assist
their brothers
in fulfilling
their
duties
at
the Tent
of Meeting
, but
they
themselves
are
not
to do the
work
. This
is
how
you
are
to
assign
responsibilities
to
the Levites. ”
