Book 04 Numbers Chapter 008

 

008:001And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

 

008:002Speak unto Aaron and say unto him, When thou lightest the
lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the
candlestick.

 

008:003And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against
the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.

 

008:004And 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.

 

008:005And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

 

008:006Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and
cleanse them.

 

008:007And 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.

 

008:008Then 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.

 

008:009And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the
congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the
children of Israel together:

 

008:010And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the
children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:

 

008:011And 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.

 

008:012And 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.

 

008:013And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his
sons, and offer them for an offering unto the LORD.

 

008:014Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children
of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.

 

008:015And 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.

 

008:016For 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.

 

008:017For 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.

 

008:018And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the
children of Israel.

 

008:019And 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.

 

008:020And 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.

 

008:021And 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.

 

008:022And 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.

 

008:023And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

 

008:024This 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:

 

008:025And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon
the service thereof, and shall serve no more:

 

008:026But 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.
