8:1 Now
the
LORD
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
8:2 "Speak
to
Aaron
and
say
to
him,
When
you
set
up
the
lamps,
the
seven
lamps
shall
give
light
in
front
of
the
lampstand."
8:3 And
Aaron
did
so:
he
set
up
its
lamps
in
front
of
the
lampstand,
as
the
LORD
commanded
Moses.
8:4 And
this
was
the
workmanship
of
the
lampstand,
hammered
work
of
gold.
From
its
base
to
its
flowers,
it
was
hammered
work;
according
to
the
pattern
that
the
LORD
had
shown
Moses,
so
he
made
the
lampstand.
8:5 And
the
LORD
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
8:6 "Take
the
Levites
from
among
the
people
of
Israel
and
cleanse
them.
8:7 Thus
you
shall
do
to
them
to
cleanse
them:
sprinkle
the
water
of
purification
upon
them,
and
let
them
go
with
a
razor
over
all
their
body,
and
wash
their
clothes
and
cleanse
themselves.
8:8 Then
let
them
take
a
bull
from
the
herd
and
its
grain
offering
of
fine
flour
mixed
with
oil,
and
you
shall
take
another
bull
from
the
herd
for
a
sin
offering.
8:9 And
you
shall
bring
the
Levites
before
the
tent
of
meeting
and
assemble
the
whole
congregation
of
the
people
of
Israel.
8:10 When
you
bring
the
Levites
before
the
LORD,
the
people
of
Israel
shall
lay
their
hands
on
the
Levites,
8:11 and
Aaron
shall
offer
the
Levites
before
the
LORD
as
a
wave
offering
from
the
people
of
Israel,
that
they
may
do
the
service
of
the
LORD.
8:12 Then
the
Levites
shall
lay
their
hands
on
the
heads
of
the
bulls,
and
you
shall
offer
the
one
for
a
sin
offering
and
the
other
for
a
burnt
offering
to
the
LORD
to
make
atonement
for
the
Levites.
8:13 And
you
shall
set
the
Levites
before
Aaron
and
his
sons,
and
shall
offer
them
as
a
wave
offering
to
the
LORD.
8:14 "Thus
you
shall
separate
the
Levites
from
among
the
people
of
Israel,
and
the
Levites
shall
be
mine.
8:15 And
after
that
the
Levites
shall
go
in
to
serve
at
the
tent
of
meeting,
when
you
have
cleansed
them
and
offered
them
as
a
wave
offering.
8:16 For
they
are
wholly
given
to
me
from
among
the
people
of
Israel.
Instead
of
all
who
open
the
womb,
the
firstborn
of
all
the
people
of
Israel,
I
have
taken
them
for
myself.
8:17 For
all
the
firstborn
among
the
people
of
Israel
are
mine,
both
of
man
and
of
beast.
On
the
day
that
I
struck
down
all
the
firstborn
in
the
land
of
Egypt
I
consecrated
them
for
myself,
8:18 and
I
have
taken
the
Levites
instead
of
all
the
firstborn
among
the
people
of
Israel.
8:19 And
I
have
given
the
Levites
as
a
gift
to
Aaron
and
his
sons
from
among
the
people
of
Israel,
to
do
the
service
for
the
people
of
Israel
at
the
tent
of
meeting
and
to
make
atonement
for
the
people
of
Israel,
that
there
may
be
no
plague
among
the
people
of
Israel
when
the
people
of
Israel
come
near
the
sanctuary."
8:20 Thus
did
Moses
and
Aaron
and
all
the
congregation
of
the
people
of
Israel
to
the
Levites.
According
to
all
that
the
LORD
commanded
Moses
concerning
the
Levites,
the
people
of
Israel
did
to
them.
8:21 And
the
Levites
purified
themselves
from
sin
and
washed
their
clothes,
and
Aaron
offered
them
as
a
wave
offering
before
the
LORD,
and
Aaron
made
atonement
for
them
to
cleanse
them.
8:22 And
after
that
the
Levites
went
in
to
do
their
service
in
the
tent
of
meeting
before
Aaron
and
his
sons;
as
the
LORD
had
commanded
Moses
concerning
the
Levites,
so
they
did
to
them.
8:23 And
the
LORD
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
8:24 "This
applies
to
the
Levites:
from
twenty-five
years
old
and
upward
they
shall
come
to
do
duty
in
the
service
of
the
tent
of
meeting.
8:25 And
from
the
age
of
fifty
years
they
shall
withdraw
from
the
duty
of
the
service
and
serve
no
more.
8:26 They
minister
to
their
brothers
in
the
tent
of
meeting
by
keeping
guard,
but
they
shall
do
no
service.
Thus
shall
you
do
to
the
Levites
in
assigning
their
duties."
