⁴And 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 shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.

⁵¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

⁶Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.

⁷And 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.

⁸Then 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.

¹³And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto the Lord.

¹⁴Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.

¹⁵And 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.

¹⁶For 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.

¹⁷For 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.

¹⁸And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.

¹⁹And 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.

²⁰And 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.

²¹And 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.

²²And 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.

²³¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

²⁴This 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:

²⁵And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more:

²⁶But 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.

¹¶ And the LORD spake vnto Moses, saying,

²Speake vnto Aaron, and say vnto him, When thou ^*lightest the lampes, the seuen lampes shall giue light, ouer against the candlesticke.

³And Aaron did so; he lighted the lampes therof, ouer against the candlestick, as the LORD ^*comanded Moses.

⁴And this worke of the candlestick was of beaten gold, vnto the shaft thereof, vnto the flowres thereof was ^*beaten worke: according vnto the paterne which the LORD had shewed Moses, so he made the candlesticke.

⁵¶ And the LORD spake vnto Moses, saying,

⁶Take the Leuites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.

⁷And thus shalt thou doe vnto them, to cleanse them: sprinkle water of purifying vpon them, and ^†let them shaue all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselues cleane.

⁸Then let them take a yong bullocke with his meat offering, euen fine flowre mingled with oyle, and an other yong bullock shalt thou take for a sinne offering.

¹⁰And thou shalt bring the Leuites before the LORD, and the children of Israel shall put their hands vpon the Leuites.

¹¹And Aaron shall ^†offer the Leuites before the LORD for an ^†offring of the children of Israel, that ^†they may execute the seruice of the LORD.

¹²And the Leuites shall lay their hands vpon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one for a sinne offering, and the other for a burnt offering vnto the LORD, to make an atonement for the Leuites.

¹³And thou shalt set the Leuites before Aaron, and before his sonnes, and offer them for an offering vnto the LORD.

¹⁴Thus shalt thou separate the Leuites from among the children of Israel: and the Leuites shalbe ^*mine.

¹⁵And after that, shall the Leuites goe in; to doe the seruice of the Tabernacle of the Congregation: and thou shalt clense them, and offer them for an offering.

¹⁶For they are wholly giuen vnto me, from among the children of Israel: in stead of such as open euery wombe, ^*euen in stead of the first borne of all the children of Israel, haue I taken them vnto me.

¹⁷For all the first borne of the children of Israel, are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote euery first borne in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for my selfe.

¹⁸And I haue taken the Leuites for all the first borne of the children of Israel.

¹⁹And I haue giuen the Leuites as a ^†gift to Aaron, and to his sonnes, from among the children of Israel, to do the seruice of the children of Israel, in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: that there bee no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh vnto the Sanctuarie.

²⁰And Moses and Aaron, and all the Congregation of the children of Israel did to the Leuites according vnto all that the LORD commanded Moses, concerning the Leuites, so did the children of Israel vnto them.

²¹And the Leuites 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.

²²And after that, went the Leuites in, to do their seruice in the Tabernacle of the Congregation before Aaron and and before his sonnes: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Leuites, so did they vnto them.

²³¶ And the LORD spake vnto Moses, saying,

²⁴This is it that belongeth vnto the Leuites: from twentie and fiue yeeres old, and vpward, they shall goe in ^†to waite vpon the seruice of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

²⁵And from the age of fiftie yeeres they shall ^†cease waiting vpon the seruice thereof, and shall serue no more:

²⁶But shall minister with their brethren in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, to keepe the charge, and shall doe no seruice: thus shalt thou doe vnto the Leuites, touching their charge.
