金燈臺
8 耶和華對摩西說： 2 “你要告訴亞倫：‘你點燈的時候，七盞燈都要照向燈臺的前面。’” 3 亞倫就這樣行了；他把燈臺上的燈都點著了，使光照向燈臺的前面，正如耶和華吩咐摩西的。 4 這燈臺的做法是這樣：是用金子錘出來的，從座到花都是錘出來的。摩西製造燈臺，是照著耶和華指示的樣式做的。
利未人的潔淨與奉獻
5 耶和華對摩西說： 6 “你要從以色列人中間選出利未人，潔淨他們。 7 你潔淨他們當這樣行：要把除罪水灑在他們身上，又叫他們用剃刀剃全身；把衣服洗淨，潔淨自己。 8 然後，叫他們取一頭公牛犢和同獻的素祭，就是用油調和的細麵；你要另取一頭公牛犢，作贖罪祭。 9 你要把利未人帶到會幕前面，又要召集以色列的全體會眾； 10 你要把利未人帶到耶和華面前，以色列人要按手在他們身上。 11 亞倫要把利未人獻在耶和華面前，作以色列人中的搖祭，使他們辦理耶和華的事務。 12 利未人要按手在那兩頭牛的頭上；你要把一隻作贖罪祭，一隻作燔祭，獻給耶和華，為利未人贖罪。 13 你又要叫利未人站在亞倫和他的兒子們面前，把他們作搖祭獻給耶和華。
14 “這樣，你要把利未人從以色列人中分別出來，利未人就要歸我。 15 以後，利未人可以進去辦理會幕的事；你要潔淨他們，把他們作搖祭獻上。 16 因為他們是以色列人中完全獻給我的；我選出了他們歸我，是代替以色列人中所有頭生的。 17 因為以色列人中所有頭生的，連人帶畜都是我的；我在埃及地擊殺所有頭生的那一天，就把他們分別為聖歸我了。 18 我選出了利未人，代替以色列人中所有頭生的。 19 我從以色列人中，把利未人賜給亞倫和他的眾子，在會幕裡辦理以色列人的事務，又為以色列人贖罪，免得他們走近聖所的時候，就有災禍臨到他們。”
20 摩西、亞倫和以色列的全體會眾，就向利未人這樣行了；耶和華指著利未人吩咐摩西的，以色列人都照樣向他們行了。 21 於是利未人潔淨了自己，把衣服洗淨；亞倫把他們作搖祭獻在耶和華面前；亞倫又為他們贖罪，潔淨他們。 22 然後，利未人才進去，在亞倫和他的眾子面前，在會幕裡辦理他們的事務；耶和華指著利未人怎樣吩咐摩西，以色列人就怎樣向他們行了。
23 耶和華對摩西說： 24 “關於利未人的職責是這樣：從二十五歲及以上的，要進來辦理會幕裡的事務； 25 到了五十歲，就要停止辦理事務，不再辦事； 26 只要在會幕裡幫助自己的兄弟，盡忠職守，事務卻不必辦理了。關於利未人的職守，你要這樣向他們行。”

Chapter 8
The Lampstand. 1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to Aaron and say to him, ‘When you set up the lamps, the seven lamps are to shine to the front of the lampstand.’ ” 3 Aaron did this. He set up the lamps so that they faced forward on the lampstand, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. 4 This is how the lampstand was made: it was made from hammered gold from its base to its blossoms. The lampstand was made according to the pattern that the Lord had shown to Moses.
Purifying the Levites. 5 The Lord said to Moses, 6 “Separate the Levites from the other people of Israel and purify them.[a] 7 Do the following to purify them: Sprinkle the water of expiation upon them, and have them shave their entire body and wash their clothes. This will purify them. 8 Let them take a young bull and its cereal offering of fine flour mixed with oil. You shall also take another young bull for a sin offering. 9 You shall present the Levites before the tent of meeting. You shall also gather together the whole assembly of the people of Israel. 10 You shall present the Levites before the Lord, and all the people of Israel will lay their hands upon the Levites.[b] 11 Then Aaron will present the Levites to the Lord as a wave offering of the people of Israel so that they may carry out the work of the Lord. 12 The Levites will lay their hands upon the heads of the young bulls. You will offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to the Lord to make atonement for the Levites.
13 “You shall have the Levites stand before Aaron and his sons to present them as a wave offering to the Lord. 14 Thus you will separate the Levites from the people of Israel, and the Levites will be mine. 15 After this the Levites can go in and serve the needs of the tent of meeting, when you have purified them and offered them as a wave offering. 16 They are to be wholly dedicated to me from among the people of Israel. I have reserved them for myself as a substitute for all those who open the womb, the firstborn of the people of Israel. 17 All the firstborn of the people of Israel belong to me, both human and animal. I sanctified them to myself on the day that I killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt. 18 But I have taken the Levites as a substitute for all the firstborn of the people of Israel. 19 I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons from among the people of Israel, to perform the work of the people of Israel in the tent of meeting and to make atonement for the people of Israel, so that no plague may come upon the people of Israel when the people of Israel approach near the sanctuary.”
20 So Moses and Aaron and all the assembly of the people of Israel did to the Levites what God had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, that is what the people of Israel did to them. 21 The Levites purified themselves and washed their clothes. Aaron presented them as a wave offering to the Lord, and made atonement for them to purify them. 22 Then the Levites went in and performed the work of the tent of meeting under the authority of Aaron and his sons. They did to the Levites the things that the Lord had commanded Moses concerning them.
23 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “The Levites will go in to perform the work of the tent of meeting from the age of twenty-five years old. 25 Then, when they are fifty years old, they will stop performing that service. They will work no more. 26 They may assist their brothers in carrying out the duties of the tent of meeting, but they themselves are not to perform that work. This is how you will establish the responsibilities of the Levites.”

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.”

8 And the Lord 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 Lord 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 Lord had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
5 And the Lord 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 Lord: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:
11 And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the Lord for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the Lord.
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 Lord, 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 Lord.
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 Lord 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 Lord; 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 Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.
23 And the Lord 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.

Las lámparas del candelabro
8 El Señor dijo a Moisés: 2 «Dile a Aarón: “Cuando instales las siete lámparas, estas deberán alumbrar hacia la parte delantera del candelabro”».
3 Así lo hizo Aarón. Instaló las lámparas de modo que alumbraran hacia la parte delantera del candelabro, tal como el Señor se lo había ordenado a Moisés. 4 Desde la base hasta las flores, el candelabro estaba hecho de oro trabajado, según el modelo que el Señor había revelado a Moisés.
Consagración de los levitas
5 El Señor dijo a Moisés: 6 «Toma a los levitas de entre los israelitas y purifícalos. 7 Para purificarlos, rocíales agua purificadora y haz que se afeiten todo el cuerpo y se laven los vestidos. Así quedarán purificados. 8 Luego tomarán un ternero y una ofrenda de harina refinada amasada con aceite. Tú, por tu parte, tomarás otro ternero como sacrificio para el perdón por su pecado. 9 Llevarás a los levitas a la Tienda de reunión y congregarás a toda la comunidad israelita. 10 Presentarás a los levitas ante el Señor y los israelitas les impondrán las manos. 11 Entonces Aarón presentará a los levitas ante el Señor como ofrenda mecida de parte de los israelitas. Así quedarán consagrados al servicio del Señor.
12 »Los levitas pondrán las manos sobre la cabeza de los novillos y tú obtendrás para ellos el perdón de su pecado ofreciendo un novillo como sacrificio por el perdón y otro como holocausto para el Señor. 13 Harás que los levitas se pongan de pie frente a Aarón y sus hijos, y los presentarás al Señor como ofrenda mecida. 14 De esta manera, apartarás a los levitas del resto de los israelitas para que sean míos.
15 »Después de que hayas purificado a los levitas y los hayas presentado como ofrenda mecida, ellos irán a ministrar en la Tienda de reunión. 16 De todos los israelitas, ellos me pertenecen por completo; son mi regalo especial. Los he apartado para mí en lugar de todos los primogénitos de Israel. 17 Porque mío es todo primogénito de Israel, ya sea hombre o animal. Los consagré para mí cuando herí de muerte a todos los primogénitos de Egipto. 18 Sin embargo, he tomado a los levitas en lugar de todos los primogénitos de los israelitas, 19 y se los he entregado a Aarón y a sus hijos como un regalo. Los levitas ministrarán en la Tienda de reunión en favor de los israelitas y pedirán el perdón de sus pecados, para que no sufran una desgracia al acercarse al santuario».
20 Así lo hicieron Moisés, Aarón y toda la comunidad de Israel. Los israelitas hicieron todo lo que el Señor había mandado a Moisés en cuanto a los levitas, 21 los cuales se purificaron y lavaron sus vestidos. Aarón los presentó ante el Señor como ofrenda mecida y pidió perdón por el pecado de ellos para purificarlos. 22 Después de esto los levitas fueron a la Tienda de reunión, para ministrar allí bajo la supervisión de Aarón y de sus hijos. Así se cumplió todo lo que el Señor había mandado a Moisés en cuanto a los levitas.
23 El Señor dijo a Moisés: 24 «Esta norma se aplicará a los levitas: Para el servicio de la Tienda de reunión se inscribirá a los que tengan veinticinco años o más; 25 pero cesarán en sus funciones y se retirarán cuando cumplan los cincuenta, 26 después de lo cual podrán seguir ayudando a sus hermanos en el ejercicio de sus deberes en la Tienda de reunión, pero no deberán hacer el trabajo. Estos son los deberes que asignarás a los levitas».
