Numbers 8

    ²Speak 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.

    ³And Aaron did so, and he put the lamps upon the candlestick, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

    ⁴Now 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.

    ⁵And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying :

    ⁶Take the Levites out of the midst of the children of Israel, and thou shalt purify them,

    ⁷According 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,

    ⁸They 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:

    ⁹And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the covenant, calling together all the multitude of the children of Israel:

    ¹⁰And when the Levites are before the Lord, the children of Israel shall put their hands upon them:

    ¹¹And 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.

    ¹²The 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.

    ¹³And thou shalt set the Levites in the sight of Aaron and of his sons, and shalt consecrate them being offered to the Lord,

    ¹⁴And shalt separate them from the midst of the children of Israel, to be mine.

    ¹⁵And 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.

    ¹⁶I have taken them instead of the firstborn that open every womb in Israel,

    ¹⁷For 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:

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

    ¹⁹And 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.

    ²⁰And Moses and Aaron and all the multitude of the children of Israel did with the Levites all that the Lord had commanded Moses:

    ²¹And they were purified, and washed their garments. And Aaron lifted them up in the sight of the Lard, and prayed for them,

    ²²That 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.

    ²³And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

    ²⁴This 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.

    ²⁵And when they shall have accomplished the fiftieth year of their age, they shall cease to serve:

    ²⁶And 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.

²¹And he said to them: Doth a candle come in to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

    ²²For there is nothing hid, which shall not be made manifest: neither was it made secret, but that it may come abroad.

    ²³If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

    ²⁴And he said to them: Take heed what you hear. In what measure you shall mete, it shall be measured to you again, and more shall be given to you.

    ²⁵For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, that also which he hath shall be taken away from him.

    ²⁶And he said: So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the earth,

    ²⁷And should sleep, and rise, night and day, and the seed should spring, and grow up whilst he knoweth not.

    ²⁸For the earth of itself bringeth forth fruit, first the blade, then the ear, afterwards the full corn in the ear.

    ²⁹And when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

    ³⁰And he said: To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or to what parable shall we compare it?

    ³²And when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches, so that the birds of the air may dwell under the shadow thereof.

    ³³And with many such parables, he spoke to them the word, according as they were able to hear.

    ³⁴And without parable he did not speak unto them; but apart, he explained all things to his disciples.

    ³⁵And he saith to them that day, when evening was come: Let us pass over to the other side.

    ³⁷And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that the ship was filled.

    ³⁸And he was in the hinder part of the ship, sleeping upon a pillow; and they awake him, and say to him: Master, doth it not concern thee that we perish?

    ³⁹And rising up, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea: Peace, be still. And the wind ceased: and there was made a great calm.

    ⁴⁰And he said to them: Why are you fearful? have you not faith yet? And they feared exceedingly: and they said one to another: Who is this (thinkest thou) that both wind and sea obey him?
