Aaron Lights the Seven Lamps of the Lampstand

Numbers 8:1
chevron_left
chevron_right
And the
L
ORD
spake unto Moses, saying,
2
Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.
3
And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as the
L
ORD
commanded Moses.
4
And 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
L
ORD
had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
5
And the
L
ORD
spake unto Moses, saying,
6
Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
7
And 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.
8
Then 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.
9
And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:
10
And thou shalt bring the Levites before the
L
ORD
: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:
11
And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the
L
ORD
for
an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the
L
ORD
.
12
And 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
L
ORD
, to make an atonement for the Levites.
13
And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them
for
an offering unto the
L
ORD
.
14
Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
15
And 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.
16
For 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.
17
For 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.
18
And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.
19
And 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.
20
And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the
L
ORD
commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.
21
And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them
as
an offering before the
L
ORD
; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.
22
And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the
L
ORD
had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.
23
And the
L
ORD
spake unto Moses, saying,
24
This
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:
25
And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service
thereof
, and shall serve no more:
26
But 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.
