Numbers 8:1

Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

Numbers 8:2

Speak to Aaron, and tell him, When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lamp stand.

Speak to Aaron, and thou shalt say to him: When thou shalt place the seven lamps, let the candlestick be set up on the south side. Give orders therefore that the lamps look over against the north, towards the table of the leaves of proposition, over against that part shall they give light, towards which the candlestick looketh.

Numbers 8:3

Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps of it [so as to give light] in front of the lampstand, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

And Aaron did so, and he put the lamps upon the candlestick, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Numbers 8:4

This was the work of the lampstand, beaten work of gold; to the base of it, [and] to the flowers of it, it was beaten work: according to the pattern which Yahweh had showed Moses, so he made the lampstand.

Now this was the work of the candlestick, it was of beaten gold, both the shaft in the middle, and all that came out of both sides of the branches: according to the pattern which the Lord had shewn to Moses, so he made the candlestick.

Numbers 8:5

Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

Numbers 8:6

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

Take the Levites out of the midst of the children of Israel, and thou shalt purify them,

Numbers 8:7

Thus shall you do to them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of expiation on them, and let them cause a razor to pass over all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.

According to this rite: Let them be sprinkled with the water of purification, and let them shave all the hairs of their flesh. And when they shall have washed their garments, and are cleansed,

Numbers 8:8

Then let them take a young bull, and its meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil; and another young bull shall you take for a sin- offering.

They shall take an ox of the herd, and for the offering thereof fine flour tempered with oil: and thou shalt take another ox of the herd for a sin offering:

Numbers 8:9

You shall present the Levites before the tent of meeting: and you shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel:

And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the covenant, calling together all the multitude of the children of Israel:

Numbers 8:10

and you shall present the Levites before Yahweh. The children of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites:

And when the Levites are before the Lord, the children of Israel shall put their hands upon them:

Numbers 8:11

and Aaron shall offer the Levites before Yahweh for a wave-offering, on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be theirs to do the service of Yahweh.

And Aaron shall offer the Levites, as a gift in the sight of the Lord from the children of Israel, that they may serve in his ministry.

Numbers 8:12

The Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls: and offer you the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt offering, to Yahweh, to make atonement for the Levites.

The Levites also shall put their hands upon the heads of the oxen, of which thou shalt sacrifice one for sin, and the other for a holocaust to the Lord, to pray for them.

Numbers 8:13

You shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for a wave-offering to Yahweh.

Numbers 8:14

Thus shall you separate the Levites from among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine.

And shalt separate them from the midst of the children of Israel, to be mine.

Numbers 8:15

After that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tent of meeting: and you shall cleanse them, and offer them for a wave-offering.

And afterwards they shall enter into the tabernacle of the covenant, to serve me. And thus shalt thou purify and consecrate them for an oblation of the Lord: for as a gift they were given me by the children of Israel.

Numbers 8:16

For they are wholly given to me from among the children of Israel; instead of all who open the womb, even the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them to me.

I have taken them instead of the firstborn that open every womb in Israel,

Numbers 8:17

For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are mine, both man and animal: on the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.

For all the firstborn of the children of Israel, both of men and of beasts, are mine. From the day that I slew every firstborn in the land of Egypt, have I sanctified them to myself:

Numbers 8:18

I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel.

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

Numbers 8:19

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 tent of meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel; that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come near to the sanctuary.

And have delivered them for a gift to Aaron and his sons out of the midst of the people, to serve me for Israel in the tabernacle of the covenant, and to pray for them, lest there should be a plague among the people, if they should presume to approach unto my sanctuary.

Numbers 8:20

Thus did Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the Levites: according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses touching the Levites, so did the children of Israel to them.

And Moses and Aaron and all the multitude of the children of Israel did with the Levites all that the Lord had commanded Moses:

Numbers 8:21

And they were purified, and washed their garments. And Aaron lifted them up in the sight of the Lard, and prayed for them,

Numbers 8:22

After that went the Levites in to do their service in the tent of meeting before Aaron, and before his sons: as Yahweh had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they to them.

That being purified they might go into the tabernacle of the covenant to do their services before Aaron and his sons. As the Lord had commanded Moses touching the Levites, so was it done.

Numbers 8:23

Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

Numbers 8:24

This is that which belongs to the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward they shall go in to wait on the service in the work of the tent of meeting:

This is the law of the Levites: From twenty-five years old and upwards, they shall go in to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.

Numbers 8:25

and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting on the work, and shall serve no more,

And when they shall have accomplished the fiftieth year of their age, they shall cease to serve:

Numbers 8:26

but shall minister with their brothers in the tent of meeting, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shall you do to the Levites touching their charges.

And they shall be the ministers of their brethren in the tabernacle of the covenant, to keep the things that are committed to their care, but not to do the works. Thus shalt thou order the Levites touching their charge.
