1And Jehovah^H3068 spake^H1696 unto Moses^H4872, saying^H559, 2Speak^H1696 unto Aaron^H175, and say^H559 unto him, When thou lightest^H5927 the lamps^H5216, the seven^H7651 lamps^H5216 shall give light^H215 in front^H6440 of the candlestick^H4501. 3And Aaron^H175 did^H6213 so; he lighted^H5927 the lamps^H5216 thereof so as to give light in front^H4136 of the candlestick^H4501, as Jehovah^H3068 commanded^H6680 Moses^H4872. 4And this was the work^H4639 of the candlestick^H4501, beaten^H4749 work of gold^H2091; unto the base^H3409 thereof, and unto the flowers^H6525 thereof, it was beaten work^H4749: according unto the pattern^H4758 which Jehovah^H3068 had showed^H7200 Moses^H4872, so he made^H6213 the candlestick^H4501. 5And Jehovah^H3068 spake^H1696 unto Moses^H4872, saying^H559, 6Take^H3947 the Levites^H3881 from among^H8432 the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, and cleanse^H2891 them. 7And thus shalt thou do^H6213 unto them, to cleanse^H2891 them: sprinkle^H5137 the water^H4325 of expiation^H2403 upon them, and let them cause a razor^H8593 to pass over all their flesh^H1320, and let them wash^H3526 their clothes^H899, and cleanse^H2891 themselves. 8Then let them take^H3947 a young^H1121 bullock^H6499, and its meal-offering^H4503, fine flour^H5560 mingled^H1101 with oil^H8081; and another^H8145 young^H1121 bullock^H6499 shalt thou take^H3947 for a sin-offering^H2403. 9And thou shalt present^H7126 the Levites^H3881 before^H6440 the tent^H168 of meeting^H4150: and thou shalt assemble^H6950 the whole^H6950 congregation^H4150 of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478: 10and thou shalt present^H7126 the Levites^H3881 before^H6440 Jehovah^H3068. And the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 shall lay^H5564 their hands^H3027 upon the Levites^H3881: 11and Aaron^H175 shall offer^H5130 the Levites^H3881 before^H6440 Jehovah^H3068 for a wave-offering^H8573, on the behalf of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, that it may be theirs to do^H5647 the service^H5656 of Jehovah^H3068. 12And the Levites^H3881 shall lay^H5564 their hands^H3027 upon the heads^H7218 of the bullocks^H6499: and offer^H6213 thou the one^H259 for a sin-offering^H2403, and the other^H259 for a burnt-offering^H2403, unto Jehovah^H3068, to make atonement^H3722 for the Levites^H3881. 13And thou shalt set^H5975 the Levites^H3881 before^H6440 Aaron^H175, and before^H6440 his sons^H1121, and offer^H5130 them for a wave-offering^H8573 unto Jehovah^H3068. 14Thus shalt thou separate^H914 the Levites^H3881 from among^H8432 the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478; and the Levites^H3881 shall be mine. 15And after^H310 that shall the Levites^H3881 go in^H935 to do the service^H5647 of the tent^H168 of meeting^H4150: and thou shalt cleanse^H2891 them, and offer^H5130 them for a wave-offering^H8573. 16For they are wholly given^H5414 unto me from among^H8432 the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478; instead of all that openeth^H6363 the womb^H7358, even the first-born^H1060 of all the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, have I taken^H3947 them unto me. 17For all the first-born^H1060 among the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 are mine, both man^H120 and beast^H929: on the day^H3117 that I smote^H5221 all the first-born^H1060 in the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714 I sanctified^H6942 them for myself. 18And I have taken^H3947 the Levites^H3881 instead of all the first-born^H1060 among the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478. 19And I have given^H5414 the Levites^H3881 as a gift^H5414 to Aaron^H175 and to his sons^H1121 from among^H8432 the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, to do^H5647 the service^H5656 of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 in the tent^H168 of meeting^H4150, and to make atonement^H3722 for the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478; that there be no plague^H5063 among the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, when the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 come nigh^H5066 unto the sanctuary^H6944. 20Thus did^H6213 Moses^H4872, and Aaron^H175, and all the congregation^H5712 of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, unto the Levites^H3881: according unto all that Jehovah^H3068 commanded^H6680 Moses^H4872 touching the Levites^H3881, so did^H6213 the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 unto them. 21And the Levites^H3881 purified^H2398 themselves from sin, and they washed^H3526 their clothes^H899: and Aaron^H175 offered^H5130 them for a wave-offering^H8573 before^H6440 Jehovah^H3068; and Aaron^H175 made atonement^H3722 for them to cleanse^H2891 them. 22And after^H310 that went^H935 the Levites^H3881 in to do^H5647 their service^H5656 in the tent^H168 of meeting^H4150 before^H6440 Aaron^H175, and before^H6440 his sons^H1121: as Jehovah^H3068 had commanded^H6680 Moses^H4872 concerning the Levites^H3881, so did^H6213 they unto them. 23And Jehovah^H3068 spake^H1696 unto Moses^H4872, saying^H559, 24This is that which belongeth unto the Levites^H3881: from twenty^H6242 and five^H2568 years^H8141 old^H1121 and upward^H4605 they shall go in^H935 to wait^H6633 upon the service^H5656 in the work of the tent^H168 of meeting^H4150: 25and from the age^H1121 of fifty^H2572 years^H8141 they shall cease^H7725 waiting^H6635 upon the work^H5656, and shall serve^H5647 no more, 26but shall minister^H8334 with their brethren^H251 in the tent^H168 of meeting^H4150, to keep^H8104 the charge^H4931, and shall do^H5647 no service^H5656. Thus shalt thou do^H5647 unto the Levites^H3881 touching their charges^H4931.
