七盞燈
8 耶和華吩咐摩西說： 2 「你要吩咐亞倫，對他說：點燈的時候，七盞燈都要照亮燈臺前面。」 3 亞倫就照樣做了；他點燈，照亮了燈臺前面，正如耶和華所吩咐摩西的。 4 燈臺是這樣造的：燈臺是用金子錘出來的，連座帶花都是錘出來的。摩西照着耶和華所指示的樣式造了燈臺。
利未人的潔淨禮和奉獻禮
5 耶和華吩咐摩西說： 6 「你要從以色列人中選出利未人來，潔淨他們。 7 你要這樣做來潔淨他們：要用潔淨的水彈在他們身上，又叫他們用剃刀剃刮全身，洗淨衣服，潔淨自己。 8 然後他們要取一頭公牛犢，以及同獻的素祭，就是調油的細麵。你要另取一頭公牛犢作贖罪祭。 9 你要帶利未人到會幕前，並且要召集以色列全會眾。 10 你要把利未人帶到耶和華面前，以色列人要為利未人按手。 11 亞倫要從以色列人中將利未人奉獻[a]在耶和華面前，作為搖祭，使他們事奉耶和華。 12 利未人要按手在那兩頭牛的頭上；你要將一頭作贖罪祭，一頭作燔祭，獻給耶和華，為利未人贖罪。 13 你也要使利未人站在亞倫和他兒子面前，將他們奉獻給耶和華，作為搖祭。
14 「你從以色列人中將利未人分別出來，利未人就歸我了。 15 你潔淨了利未人，奉獻他們作為搖祭之後，他們就可以進會幕事奉。 16 因為他們是從以色列人中全然獻給我的；我選他們歸我，代替以色列人中所有頭胎的長子。 17 因為以色列人中凡頭生的，無論是人或牲畜，都是我的。我在埃及地擊殺所有頭生的那日，已將他們分別為聖歸我。 18 我選利未人代替以色列人中所有頭生的。 19 我從以色列人中將利未人給亞倫和他的兒子作為賞賜，在會幕中為以色列人事奉，又為以色列人贖罪，免得以色列人因挨近聖所而遭受災禍。」
20 摩西、亞倫和以色列全會眾就向利未人這樣做。關於利未人，凡耶和華怎樣吩咐摩西，以色列人就向他們照樣做了。 21 於是利未人從罪中潔淨自己，洗淨衣服。亞倫將他們奉獻在耶和華面前，作為搖祭，又為他們贖罪，潔淨他們。 22 然後利未人進去，在亞倫和他兒子面前，在會幕中事奉。關於利未人，耶和華怎樣吩咐摩西，他們就向利未人照樣做了。
23 耶和華吩咐摩西說： 24 「這是有關利未人的：二十五歲以上的人都要前來任職，在會幕裏事奉。 25 到了五十歲，他們就要從事奉的工作中退休，不再事奉， 26 只可在會幕裏輔助他們的弟兄盡責，他們自己不再事奉了。關於利未人的職責，你要向他們這樣做。」

Setting Up the Lamps
8 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Speak to Aaron and say to him, ‘When you set up the lamps, see that all seven light up the area in front of the lampstand.(A)’”
3 Aaron did so; he set up the lamps so that they faced forward on the lampstand, just as the Lord commanded Moses. 4 This is how the lampstand was made: It was made of hammered gold(B)—from its base to its blossoms. The lampstand was made exactly like the pattern(C) the Lord had shown Moses.
The Setting Apart of the Levites
5 The Lord said to Moses: 6 “Take the Levites from among all the Israelites and make them ceremonially clean.(D) 7 To purify them, do this: Sprinkle the water of cleansing(E) on them; then have them shave their whole bodies(F) and wash their clothes.(G) And so they will purify themselves.(H) 8 Have them take a young bull with its grain offering of the finest flour mixed with olive oil;(I) then you are to take a second young bull for a sin offering.[a](J) 9 Bring the Levites to the front of the tent of meeting(K) and assemble the whole Israelite community.(L) 10 You are to bring the Levites before the Lord, and the Israelites are to lay their hands on them.(M) 11 Aaron is to present the Levites before the Lord as a wave offering(N) from the Israelites, so that they may be ready to do the work of the Lord.
12 “Then the Levites are to lay their hands on the heads of the bulls,(O) using one for a sin offering(P) to the Lord and the other for a burnt offering,(Q) to make atonement(R) for the Levites. 13 Have the Levites stand in front of Aaron and his sons and then present them as a wave offering(S) to the Lord. 14 In this way you are to set the Levites apart from the other Israelites, and the Levites will be mine.(T)
15 “After you have purified the Levites and presented them as a wave offering,(U) they are to come to do their work at the tent of meeting.(V) 16 They are the Israelites who are to be given wholly to me. I have taken them as my own in place of the firstborn,(W) the first male offspring(X) from every Israelite woman. 17 Every firstborn male in Israel, whether human or animal,(Y) is mine. When I struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, I set them apart for myself.(Z) 18 And I have taken the Levites in place of all the firstborn sons in Israel.(AA) 19 From among all the Israelites, I have given the Levites as gifts to Aaron and his sons(AB) to do the work at the tent of meeting on behalf of the Israelites(AC) and to make atonement for them(AD) so that no plague will strike the Israelites when they go near the sanctuary.”
20 Moses, Aaron and the whole Israelite community did with the Levites just as the Lord commanded Moses. 21 The Levites purified themselves and washed their clothes.(AE) Then Aaron presented them as a wave offering before the Lord and made atonement(AF) for them to purify them.(AG) 22 After that, the Levites came to do their work(AH) at the tent of meeting under the supervision of Aaron and his sons. They did with the Levites just as the Lord commanded Moses.
23 The Lord said to Moses, 24 “This applies to the Levites: Men twenty-five years old or more(AI) shall come to take part in the work at the tent of meeting,(AJ) 25 but at the age of fifty,(AK) they must retire from their regular service and work no longer. 26 They may assist their brothers in performing their duties at the tent of meeting, but they themselves must not do the work.(AL) This, then, is how you are to assign the responsibilities of the Levites.”

Arrangement of the Lamps(A)
8 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2 “Speak to Aaron, and say to him, ‘When you (B)arrange the lamps, the seven (C)lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand.’ ” 3 And Aaron did so; he arranged the lamps to face toward the front of the lampstand, as the Lord commanded Moses. 4 (D)Now this workmanship of the lampstand was hammered gold; from its shaft to its flowers it was (E)hammered work. (F)According to the pattern which the Lord had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.
Cleansing and Dedication of the Levites
5 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 6 “Take the Levites from among the children of Israel and cleanse them ceremonially. 7 Thus you shall do to them to cleanse them: Sprinkle (G)water of purification on them, and (H)let[a] them shave all their body, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean. 8 Then let them take a young bull with (I)its grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil, and you shall take another young bull as a sin offering. 9 (J)And you shall bring the Levites before the tabernacle of meeting, (K)and you shall gather together the whole congregation of the children of Israel. 10 So you shall bring the Levites before the Lord, and the children of Israel (L)shall lay their hands on the Levites; 11 and Aaron shall [b]offer the Levites before the Lord like a (M)wave offering from the children of Israel, that they may perform the work of the Lord. 12 (N)Then the Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the young bulls, and you shall offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to the Lord, to make atonement for the Levites.
13 “And you shall stand the Levites before Aaron and his sons, and then offer them like a wave offering to the Lord. 14 Thus you shall (O)separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be (P)Mine. 15 After that the Levites shall go in to service the tabernacle of meeting. So you shall cleanse them and (Q)offer them like a wave offering. 16 For they are (R)wholly given to Me from among the children of Israel; I have taken them for Myself (S)instead of all who open the womb, the firstborn of all the children of Israel. 17 (T)For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are Mine, both man and beast; on the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I [c]sanctified them to Myself. 18 I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn of the children of Israel. 19 And (U)I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the work for the children of Israel in the tabernacle of meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel, (V)that there be no plague among the children of Israel when the children of Israel come near the sanctuary.”
20 Thus Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel did to the Levites; according to all that the Lord commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the children of Israel did to them. 21 (W)And the Levites purified themselves and washed their clothes; then Aaron presented them like a wave offering before the Lord, and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them. 22 (X)After that the Levites went in to do their work in the tabernacle of meeting before Aaron and his sons; (Y)as the Lord commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
23 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “This is what pertains to the Levites: (Z)From twenty-five years old and above one may enter to perform service in the work of the tabernacle of meeting; 25 and at the age of fifty years they must cease performing this work, and shall work no more. 26 They may minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of meeting, (AA)to attend to needs, but they themselves shall do no work. Thus you shall do to the Levites regarding their duties.”
