AND Yahuah spoke unto El-Mosheh, saying,
Speak unto El-Aharon, and say unto him, When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the menorah.
And Aharon did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the menorah, as Yahuah commanded Mosheh.
And this work of the menorah was of beaten gold, unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work: according unto the pattern which Yahuah had showed Mosheh, so he made the menorah.
And Yahuah spoke unto Mosheh, saying,
Take the Leviyiym from among the children of Yashar'el, and cleanse them.
And thus shall you 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.
Then let them take a young bullock with his oblation, even fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shall you take for a sin offering.
And you shall bring the Leviyiym before the Tabernacle of the assembly: and you shall gather the whole assembly of the children of Yashar'el together:
And you shall bring the Leviyiym before Yahuah: and the children of Yashar'el shall put their hands upon the Leviyiym:
And Aharon shall offer the Leviyiym before Yahuah for an offering of the children of Yashar'el, that they may execute the service of Yahuah.
And the Leviyiym shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and you shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for an ascending smoke offering, unto Yahuah, to make an atonement for the Leviyiym.
And you shall set the Leviyiym before Aharon, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto Yahuah.
Thus shall you separate the Leviyiym from among the children of Yashar'el: and the Leviyiym shall be mine.
And after that shall the Leviyiym go in to do the service of the Tabernacle of the assembly: and you shall cleanse them, and offer them for an offering.
For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Yashar'el; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Yashar'el, have I taken them unto me.
For all the firstborn of the children of Yashar'el are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Mitsrayim I sanctified them for myself.
And I have taken the Leviyiym for all the firstborn of the children of Yashar'el.
And I have given the Leviyiym as a gift to Aharon and to his sons from among the children of Yashar'el, to do the service of the children of Yashar'el in the Tabernacle of the assembly, and to make an atonement for the children of Yashar'el: that there be no plague among the children of Yashar'el, when the children of Yashar'el come nigh unto the sanctuary.
And Mosheh, and Aharon, and all the assembly of the children of Yashar'el, did to the Leviyiym according unto all that Yahuah commanded Mosheh concerning the Leviyiym, so did the children of Yashar'el unto them.
And the Leviyiym were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aharon offered them as an offering before Yahuah; and Aharon made an atonement for them to cleanse them.
And after that went the Leviyiym in to do their service in the Tabernacle of the assembly before Aharon, and before his sons: as Yahuah had commanded Mosheh concerning the Leviyiym, so did they unto them.
And Yahuah spoke unto Mosheh, saying,
This is it that belongs unto the Leviyiym: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the Tabernacle of the assembly:
And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more:
But shall minister with their brethren in the Tabernacle of the assembly, to guard the watch, and shall do no service. Thus shall you do unto the Leviyiym touching their charge.
